The Captive Mind

Shame to shame when you fell apart But you woke me up and the dreamer came to say, "Please don't forget, just lay and wait" Pain the pain when you played the part And you took it all up and you turned your back away "Try to forget, and we'll okay." Read the words that I kept in mind And you tried to leave the past behind But we spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, come back again The same the same that you've always been When you took it all up what it took to do you in And all under and run away Blame the blame on a broken heart When you pack it all up and you make the start again But call me up on my birthday Read the words that I kept in mind And you tried to leave the past behind But we spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, come back again Gone in a boat You're drifting so The walls you built The push and pull Come back in Come back in Well you love the love what you could've stayed You say you'd give it all up for the man that lay away The plastic beach and passing plates Shame the shame when you fell apart But you hold me up and the dreamer came to say, "Please don't forget, just lay and wait" Read the words that I kept in mind And you tried to leave the past behind But we spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, please come back again
