lyrics

Hey Charlie, why are you hanging?
Monkey no trudge about in the rain
Oh Charlie, heads are a-banging
The rougher the ground, the harder the strain
Hey Charlie, why are you circling?
Falcon no swoop and snatch under stars
Oh Charlie, pickly gherkin
The rougher the ground, the deeper the scars

Always hurting - memories just won't go away
Life uncertain - can't go on another day
Desperation - pinball bounce from taste to taste
Isolation - the smiling face of a trust misplaced

Lurching sideways - no one wants to take you home
Burnt-out relays - whoops, there goes the barbitone

Bonds dissolving - gentleness and patience drained
Life evolving - circles formed and habits gained
Desolation - the politics of the simple fix
Adaptation - the clickety-click of perennial pricks

Signals scrambled - curtain-twitchers closing doors
Limbs disabled - outcasts sprawled on unswept floors
Going bye-byes - snoring socks and coma toes
Counting fireflies - whoops, there goes the overdose
