crucifiction lane

you'd better listen anybody

'cos i'm gonna make it clear

that my life is unimportant; what i've done i did through fear

there's a river running through me: on its tide i tried to hide

nonetheless i could not shake it

and in the end it swept aside

all my feeble unimportance. i can't say it

never mind

can't you hear me mother calling you? i'm cold

i'm deaf

i'm blind

and if only 'cos you're lucky

we both know that's no find

i did think i'd be an actor. what i am i'll leave behind

you'd better listen anybody

'cos it's me and you --that's it

and in case you find your maker perhaps you'll plead for us a bit

all my sick is in my stomach

all my sweat is clearly fear

and if you could see inside me i don't think you'd have me here

tell the helmsman veer to starboard

bring this ship around to port

and if the sea was not so salty i could sink instead of walk

and in case of passing strangers who are standing where i fell

tell the truth: you never knew me

and in truth it's just as well
