So far we all had came
And laughing we out ran
Ourselves
From way out there we looked back
Just to see how far
We had come from
Ourselves
Now and then on our giant bed
We all looked back
To check how far we'd come from
Ourselves
The loud music lit
The dark corners
Of our dim lounge
And down the tiny corridor
We could see
Quite clearly
How we had become
Ourselves
It was obvious you needed one
All that self-consumed frivolity
You'd almost forgotten how dull
Life should have been
It was obvious that you needed one
So I did it but you don't remember
You'd almost forgotten how remote
A life together could become
It was obvious that you needed one
So I set a trap for you
Quietly waiting for a kiss
That never came
