i had someone here in my life
who never claimed to be anything
never denied to be my ultimate downfall
we spoke so openly
and yet i always laughed at any suggestion
that called for reflection
felt the need to please you
never thought to please myself instead
thought i'd miss the traps
if i just opened my eyes
paced in developments
and looking back
i see that every step forward was two steps down
well you asked me to show you round my world
when i led the way inside
but when it got to be late
i just ignored the warning of the walls
and the scraping in the hall of the petrol tanks
and later on you lit the fuse
when my doubting heart complained
when you asked me if i had a light
i felt i must obliged
if i just ignored it all it would be a funny dream
