Scared To Be Alone
Tip the glass to the tongue
Drown those doubts until they've gone
Whilst time
Her heals are clicking on
And watch the lovers swaying
Hear computers playing
And a voice inside saying
You're scared to be alone

Then she joins you at the bar
Asks your name guess your star
And sits so close you can breath whisky scars
And you listen without caring
To all the woes that she's sharing
You're only there
'cos you're scared to be alone

Then the stab of a neon light
Kills the bar again tonight
You take your coat
And her invite
And down the fiddlers mean alleyway
Past the desperate who ply there trade
They're all betrayed
And they're scared to be alone
And a street car named for hire
Well it takes you to her door
And the meter is a liar
And you're paying once more
And your eyes do the walking
As the liquor does the talking
Through her door you're falling
You're both scared to be alone

So go and lay your weary head
Go lay it there upon her bed
Desire alive but your heart is dead
And you can touch without feeling
Whisper words that have lost all meaning
And kid yourself that it's better
Then being alone

But after when the sweat grows cold
You're feeling just as desperate
Lonely and sold
And her pleasure and your passion
Just fake
And as the innocent sleep
You
Lie awake
With sad mary
Whom no man would choose
Sad mary never loved
Only used

And the dawn well it comes too soon
It's sun well it mocks your moon
And like a thief from her room you creep

And on a sundays street
Saturdays litter at your feet
And the only sound
Low heels on hard ground
And the bells don't ring
And the birds refuse to sing
And you wonder where was sown
That seed now fully grown
That keeps you moving on and on
And scared to be alone

So tip the glass to the tongue
Drown that dog until its gone
Whilst time
Her heals are clicking on
And watch the lovers swaying
Hear computers playing
And a voice inside still saying
You're scared to be alone
