from: Dancing

Without a word of warning
The ceiling falls on the floor
And all of them I been scorning
Will take my bitter seed no more
Tell a tall one
There's a lie in my eye
When I call for my neighbor to help he will kiss me goodbye

And I'm stranded and don't have a dime to phone
I ought to be alone
I landed on something wrong
I ought to be more strong
Stuck in a backwards song

Will the people who made me give up a dollar for me now?
And anybody who'd taste me take a piece of me somehow
Tell a tall one
Is it in me to try to live in line with my calling
Not to dream it in faithless lies?

And I'm stranded and don't have a dime to phone
I ought to be alone
I landed on something wrong
I ought to be more strong
Stuck in a backwards song

It's dark outside
And it's dark inside
And my heart, it cries
Why don't I go on home?
Tell a tall one
There's a lie in my eye, but someone's dying to love me
Someone who'd die if I couldn't survive

And I'm stranded and don't have a dime to phone
I ought to be alone
I landed on something wrong
I ought to be more strong
Stuck in a backwards song
