I went off in the cruel word like a gun in a crowded room
I went off in the cruel word like a gun in a crowded room
It was through all these crude soldiers I learned to howl at the moon

I spread my seed like a farm boy, I shined my light like a lamp
I spread my seed like a farm boy, I shined my light like a lamp
I didn't know where I was going, no one was calling me champ

They didn't get what I was meaning, till I stopped meaning too much
They didn't get what I was meaning, till I stopped meaning too much
They didn't know that I was dreaming, till I was cold to the touch

You know I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her
I said I slept through the whole night, when I slept next to her
I would have stayed there forever, 'cause no one knew who we were

I folded into her shoulder, I dreamed of missing a train
I folded into her shoulder, I dreamed of missing a train
Then all my thoughtless behavior brought me this way again
Soon all my thoughtless behavior brought me this way again
