From the recording GREATEST HITS
Lyrics
I DON’T WANT TO GO THAT WAY NO MORE I SEE REFLECTIONS OF YOUR GHOST THEY’RE DOING CARTWHEELS AT MY DOOR BUT BABY I DON’T WANT TO GO THAT WAY NO MORE I SET MY SOUL ON FIRE WITH PAPER MACHE ROSES I’VE LOOKED FOR LOVE INSPIRED BY RITUALS AND LIES I’VE BEEN AFRAID TO WRAP MYSELF IN SILKEN DREAMS THAT I’VE HELD FOND AND I CANNOT CARRY ON MUCH LONGER SOME CRAZY AFTERNOONS I WATCH THE STARS POP LIKE BALLOONS AND PRESS MY FACE AGAINST THE WINDOW OF MY SOUL I LIVE BENEATH THE WAVES IN FURNISHED ROOMS AND EMPTY CAVES AND WILE THE HOURS AWAY JUST ROTTING IN MY HOLE THERE'VE BEEN TIMES WHEN YOU SEEM LIKE YOU’RE ALMOST HUMAN YOU DRAW THE LINE WITH AN ERASER ON A STONE YOU PICK UP COINS LIKE THEY WERE DIAMONDS AND YOU PUT THEM IN A JAR BUT YOU DON’T SEEM LIKE YOU’RE GETTING VERY FAR I SET MY SOUL ON FIRE WITH PAPER MACHETE ROSES I’VE LOOKED FOR LOVE INSPIRED BY RITUALS AND LIES I’VE BEEN AFRAID TO WRAP MYSELF IN SILKEN DREAMS THAT I’VE LET WANDER AND I CANNOT CARRY ON MUCH LONGER
