Amputated - The Soft Boys

I’ve been waitin' for the sun to shine on you

'Cause I wonder what the light is gonna do

It’s so hard to recognize

When you look into her eyes

And you realize the eyes look back at you

I’ve been wondering about what they could say

To the people who come 'round you every day

You can hardly hear a word

Of an angel or a bird

But I know they’re gonna come out when you play

Some people look very long

Some people live in a song they can’t sing

They been amputated out at school

Amputated by their fools

Amputated by the clothes they wear

There’s not even a half a person there

Amputated by the way they love

Amputated by the gods above

Amputated by the things they do

There’s hardly anything left of you

I’ve been wondering what you’re gonna do with me

Will it last until we fall into the sea

Since you’re gone I understand

If the language of the hand

But the fingers still look different to me

Some people look very straight

Even their hearts' bitter hate of the world

They been amputated by the things they do

Amputated they just look at you

Amputated by the way they wear

There’s not even half a person there

Amputated every single day

Amputated right there in the maze

Amputated funny I still feel

The places I had when I took the wheel

I’m amputated and I want to disappear
