Symphonies - Dan Black

I can’t disguise I was hypnotized

Lost the track, struggled back

I’d wanted easy stuff to please me

Something in the dark began to squeeze me

Seen it there, thinner in the mirror

Totally focused, no hocus pocus

Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin

To win, thinking how to

As the lights of the cars go by in a stream

Seems like I stand pretty much unseen

But I open my eyes and beams come out

Gimme, gimme symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

Score rise up, angels play

Let my loneliness get blown away

Gimme, gimme symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

I lie down in the dust just under your eye

A scrap of paper, thin as vapour

Filling my clothes like smoke

A couple of the wires in my heart are broke

I float, I miss something, nothing but

Dreams, schemes, moments wasted

Taste I tasted, fate I’m fated

Re-edited again then copy/pasted

As the lights of the cars go by in a stream

Seems like I stand pretty much unseen

But I open my eyes and beams come out

Gimme, gimme symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

Score rise up, angels play

Let my loneliness get blown away

Gimme, gimme, symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

When I wanna quit, I suffocate it

I chew Bubblicious, stress repetitious

Vicious, I’m one outsider

Up above the streets on the DC wire

Higher, fire in my guts

In a rut, but what I’ve got

Is in no can, no other human

But I do get lonely, scared I’m phony

As the lights of the cars go by in a stream

Seems like I stand pretty much unseen

But I open my eyes and beams come out

Gimme, gimme symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

Score rise up, angels play

Let my loneliness get blown away

Gimme, gimme symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

Gimme, gimme symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

Gimme, gimme symphonies
