lyrics

You tried to find a place where you could practice contemplation.
A place where no one could interrupt and impair your concentration.
You took your search all over the world just to run from the girl
Who made your life so muddy.
Running from everyone lends you a hand. How can you stand

To be so cavalier with all your pretty, pretty girlfriends?
And every notch on your belt will be a testament to them
Until you find the one who can ease your troubled mind.

They say you're charming, a bit disarming,
And quite urbane and witty,
But after hours your face grows sour.
A line for every city.

And you wonder: did you used to get heartburn before,
And how come the floor is feeling so uneven?
You tremble a little while you wait for your drink.
You sit and you think of
Every program from every show you left at intermission,
And suddenly you think you really ought to buy a gun,
And run again to one of your favorite hunting clubs.

But still at night you always see her.
She's buried deep inside your mind.
You start to hate it when you see her,
And when you hate the thing you love
Your only choice is to get drunk
On all the women who replaced her,
But it only leaves you blind.

You miss her. You miss her.
You miss who you were when you're with her.
You want her. You need her.
You hate everyone who is not her.
