about

"I should have been a pair of ragged claws/scuttling across the floors of silent seas" --T.S. Eliot "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

lyrics

Verse 1:

Well the way you speak makes me tremble in my knees
as I fall into your voice
And the way you write keeps me burning in the night
And I'm praying for another choice

Do I dare do I dare disturb the falling of your hair
Like the world was in a strand
Bring a moment to its crisis after coffee and surprises
when I know just where I stand
I'm only the other man

Chorus:

Oh these ragged claws
Could be human hands
If you just sing to me
Drag me out of the ocean
Oh these ragged claws
Could be human hands
But I don't think you'll sing again
No I don't think you'll sing again
to me
And I'll drown. . .
And I'll drown. . .
And I'll drown. . .
And I"ll drown. . .

Verse 2:

So I'll grow my hair and pretend that I don't care
that its shaggin in my eyes
It hides my face its a period of grace
from the sighs of another why
And a pale pale thought decomposing and forgot
of a future never told
It'll haunt my dreams and will tear out all the seams
I will wear my trousers rolled
Oh to age and still be bold. . .

(Chorus)
(Solo)

And I'll drown. . .
And I'll drown. . .
And I'll drown. . .
And I'll drown. . .
