THE REELING

We dug these holes we crawled into Now they're my home Now here I cannot feel the wind Can't feel the rain or cold And I believe in gentle harmony How I loath all this obscenity! Is this the way my life has got to be? Have I a single opportunity? Look at me Oh, look at me Is this the way I'll always be? (Oh no-oh no) And now I dream that somebody Will swiftly come and kidnap me (Oh no-oh no) And everyday I lie awake And pray to God today's the day (Oh no-oh no) But here I am Oh here I am Oh when will someone understand? (Oh no-oh no) And all at once I feel this Oh how it clings to me It reels and calls me towards some confounding destiny And I can feel the madness inch by inch The more I run the more I am convinced I've colored all these like the branch's twist Just like we settle in the frothy mist Look at me Oh, look at me Is this the way I'll always be? (Oh no-oh no) And now I dream that somebody Will swiftly come and kidnap me (Oh no-oh no) And everyday I lie awake And pray to God today's the day (Oh no-oh no) But here I am Oh here I am Oh when will someone understand? (Oh no-oh no) Look at me Oh, look at me Is this the way I'll always be? (Oh no-oh no) And now I dream that somebody Will swiftly come and kidnap me (Oh no-oh no) And everyday I lie awake And pray to God today's the day (Oh no-oh no) But here I am Oh here I am Oh when will someone understand? (Oh no-oh no)
