[Verse 1]
You must be joking, I deny
Tears are forming in my eyes
I'm oversensitive
I'm hypersensitized
And it makes me feel like I am alive
[Verse 2]
There's nothing to dislike
I don't need lights on my pushbike
My light comes from inside
Oh yeah, it makes me feel like I am alive
[Bridge]
And the winter turns to springtime
Like the springtime turns to summer
We'll discover how we lost another year
[Verse 3]
I saw you at the embassy
We're both crippled socially
No worlds collide when we converse
We're singing, love is a disease, art is a curse
[Verse 4]
And we wrote Pavement on our shoes
We stole our beero when we paid our dues
We paid our respects
We wrote "Confusion is Sex"
And on your shoulder bag I wrote "The Silver Jews"
[Verse 5]
And the ice turned into water
And the water turned to gases
Steamy glasses on a frosty afternoon
And her lips were warm, her hands were cold
I never thought I'd feel this old
Isn't gray hair just the first light of a new dawn?
I saw you at the embassy
