Something here is broken
Lying in the street
Someone has arrived
And we are to meet
Stopped along the wayside
The stranger's come to stay
In a dress of metal
On someone's holiday
I see her far above me
And I feel so low
Her eyes they hold the secrets
That I long to know
She warmly looks upon me
I find I cannot speak
I see that I am dirty
I see that I am weak
In my trembling silence
I know I am betrayed
By what I have not done
By what I could have made
Sleepless nights will pass by
And come the light of day
I somehow get it started
And drive on far away
And now the moonless nighttime
Calls me out to ride
Across the city
Over to her side
At her quiet doorstep
A fetus trapped in wire
Like the chains that hold me
Back from my desire
