REVISED VERSION *** 20-July-1995



Crutches - Bettie Serveert

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



From Album Lamprey



Boredom always lurks within strange places

But still I find a way to feed my mind

The worlds collide beyond those faces

I'm never sure of what goes on inside



If I apologize for every crutch I use

I guess I never would've walked inside those shoes



Behold the world that I've been shaping

I never said that I belong

In other words, have I been flaking?

Don't you know what i would have done



Should I apologize for every crutch I use

I guess I never would've walked inside those shoes

Let it down, down, down

Let it bubble all around me

Always something else to prove

Let it down, down, down

Let the shallowness surround me, let it drown me



From the tint of my eyes

? I can see the ____ world ] this part is tough to figure

? spinning like a girl ] out.....

never satisfied

and though its plain to see

You don't exist for me

Don't believe every word that they say



Let it down, down, down

Let it bubble all around me

Always something else to prove

Let it down, down, down

Let the shallowness surround me, let it drown me



A part of my mind

I never understand

Why its close at hand

It's never out of sight

and though its 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

Thanks to Joao Benedito dos Santos Filho

(sorokin@xavante.icmsc.sc.usp.br) for making a valiant try at

the lyrics on the earlier version. Lots of corrections,

though! :) If anyone can figure out those two lines in the

middle, please email them to me... regards.
