"Icing Up"

[ from the album "Burning Blue Soul" (1980) ]

Lyrics

I was sittin' on the window seal
And staring at the moon
Whistling a tune that really moved me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

"I have no future, for I've had no past
I'm just sittin' here
Pullin' arrows
Out of my heart-t-t"

History repeats itself
Within the realms of my inexperience

It's the laughter in her eyes that makes me cry
I'm too tired to eat
Too lazy
To die

See me dwindle, watch me dwell
In my cut out corner, in my plastic world
