Hello sweet creature
Wont you give me some bloodlike guarantee
Ive been listening to myself too long
And theyre making a prophet out of me
Im as empty as a shell can ever be
Ive been walking through the desert
No it must have been the library
Reading a book which once gave me hope
Now its making a fool out of me
Im as empty as a shell can ever be
Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself
Never noticed that the crowds were leaving
Never looked for anyone else
Now its market day almost every day
Yet they give away their love for free
Im just waiting for a ship to come
And its making a slave out of me
Im as empty as a shell can ever be
Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself
Never noticed that the crowds were leaving
Never looked for anyone else
Hello sweet creature
Wont you give me some bloodlike guarantee
Ive been listening to myself too long
Ive been walking through the desert
Must have been the library
