I never thought that you might leave   you never bought that I felt cheap   and you say that I’m aloof   I just compete with your TV       If thoughts could cut a trail   I would be there but   something always fails   life’s a twisted cage   it won’t get better   something always fails   only your vanity prevails      your philosophical complaints   about rhetorical restraints   we breed lethargic one way thoughts   sometimes it’s better to play dumb       If thoughts could cut a trail   I would be there but   something always fails   life’s a twisted cage   it won’t get better   something always fails   only your vanity prevails      and I hope we’ll meet again someday   channel surfing through our minds   and I hope we sort it out in some way   try to change something someday
