Lyrics

Your breath's not exactly like a breath of spring
And your eyes aren't shining brighter than any diamond ring
Your hair's not flowing down like a great black waterfall
And things that used to turn me on don't move me at all
Every word you speak's not the smartest thing I've ever heard
And when you talk about yourself
I'm not hanging onto every word
I know every line on your face could tell a story
But I've heard them all before and now they bore me
Even your great potential now just leaves me cold
When I look at you I'm thinking, God, do I look that old?
I've been told a city of gold
Waits at the bottom of a long dark hole
But I can't wait around for that story to unfold
It leaves me cold
