Testi

[Verse 1]
Rings 'round his eyes, tracks down his arm
His fans are confused and his friends are alarmed
His wife doesn't talk, hates when he's gone
Counts every skirt in his new entourage
[Verse 2]
And they're all gossamer thin
Left of the dial, bohemians
And they dance tournament style
Twirl 'round the room, curtsey and smile
[Verse 3]
And they sit at his feet, read poetry
And swoon with each word he speaks
[Verse 4]
She likes the new Pope, she's not scared of Hell
They meet once a week at a secret motel
She kisses his neck, she plays with his hair
Her screams sound like pleasure, her moans, like despair
[Verse 5]
And they're spread gossamer thin
Pushed to the edge, frayed at the ends
And it's no business of mine
If they can love more than one at a time
[Verse 6]
But they're pushing their luck, hard but they must
Risk it all for love
[Verse 7]
Now I walk around in some kind of altered state
The drink in my hand is starting to shake
I'll get used to it if it has to stay this way
A new bunch of flowers I'll have to arrange
[Verse 8]
I don't wanna eat or get out of bed
Or try to recall what the therapist said
Ego and id, the essential self
You are who you are and you are someone else
[Verse 9]
But I'm worn gossamer thin
A delicate arch carved by the wind
There's a glass psyche at stake
Throw me a brick, see if it breaks
[Verse 10]
'Cause the mind and the brain aren't quite the same
But they both want out of this place
