Crutches - Bettie Serveert

-------- ---------------



From Album Lamprey



Boredom always lurks within strange places

But still I find a way to feed my mind

The worlds colide beyond those spaces

I'm never sure of what goes on inside



If I apologize for every crutch I've used

I guess I never would have walked inside those shoes



Be hold the world that I've been shaping

I never said that I'd belong

In other words have I been flaking

Don't you know what I would have done



If I apologize for every crutch I've used

I guess I never would have worked inside those shoes

So Let me down, down, down

Let it bubble all around me

Always something else to do

Let me down, down, down

Let the shallowness surround me, let me drown in it



From the tint of my eyes

I can see the world

Spinning like a girl

never satisfied

And though it's plain to see

You don't exist for me

Don't believe every word that they say



So Let me down, down, down

Let it bubble all around me

Always something else to prove

Let me down, down, down

Let the shallowness surround me, let me drown in it



A part of my mind

Never wonders still

Why it's close at hand?

It's never out of sight

And though it's part of me

You're never going to see



Don't believe every word that they say

Don't believe every word that they say

After a revision on the lyric, with a great help from Ruth Tobey. Now, we

agree that this lyric is really near from the original one.

Thanks.
