Lonely it spreads its wings

Eager to wake my fire

Slowly circling over me

Burning with deep desire



I don't know why it hurts

What the hell is it all about



When I lie awake at night

I feel it all 'round me

Winding like the snake of old

It's foul breath all about me



I don't know why it hurts

What the hell is it all about



It fills my head with words

But when I want to speak

I don't know what to say



I feel like shattered glass

Is cutting at my very heart

I long for it with every nerve

It's tearing me apart



I don't know why it is

What the hell is it all about
