Friend of a Friend

I can go anywhere that I want
I just gotta turn myself inside out and back to front
With cut out shapes and worn out spaces
Add some sparkles to create the right effect
And they're all smiling so I guess I'll stay
At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away
Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulder
Oh the window balconies they seem so flimsy as our friends step out to talk and wave
And catch a piece of sun
I guess I believe in an altered state
Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide
Here the telephone lines are always busy
Unable to give a reason or a straight answer
Buried from the waist down
Stop looking over our shoulders
We need to get it together
From our window balconies we take a tumble as our friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun
All of that money, where did it go?
Where did it go?
In somebody's pocket?
A friend of a friend
All the loose change
Loose change
I am asking for help
I am outside your door
I am walking away barefoot
I am asking down the street
I am climbing a tree
I am now a white sheet of paper
I am changing, the seconds pass
I am making mistakes
I am losing my shit
I am being bent out of shape
I may have been crying
I am memories that crowd a drowning field
I am trying to figure this out
I am waving a hand in front of your face
I am feeling very alone
I keep asking, asking you to repeat yourself
I think you are maybe taking the piss
I am feeling very alone and unsupported in this moment
I am deciding to shut down everything
I am a stranger tapping on the window
I understand and go on my way
I think maybe you are losing interest
I am now cycling through their almost empty city, starting again from the top
They are taking away my privileges
I am hoping we can work this out
I am making positive noises
I am making a long series of just empty promises
I am just going along with this
I am crystalline, corrupt, sulphuric, superficial
I am a perfect self portrait
I am waiting for you to acknowledge me
I am someone else to compare me to
I am paralyzed by the weight of my own whatever
I sympathize with your decision
I am your replacement
I am seeking an opportunity
I think this doesn't fit me
I am slipping slowly down a greasy pole
I am being told to stay indoors
I am making this official
I am trying not to look
I am not asking questions
I am hiding in the closet
I am asking if you can bring round some groceries
I am leaping into the dark
The sky is full of scarecrows above and around me
I am seeing lots of patterns
I am little baby walking
I guess it doesn't matter now
I am weighing anchor and heading into port
I am getting drunk in a bar to forget
I may or may not be
I am high on my riddles, concussed
I am nothing else
I am checking in the mirror
I am changing definition
I am trying to keep my distance
This is my stop
Why won't you untie me?
Oh I see what's going on here
I am gently pushing an open door open
