Desperately Leaving

and today i just don't kow what to say | your smile and eyes may match today | but for how long will they share the same | love for me and love for me and love for me | desperate to find fault, they peer from behind | cowardly faces that spell distraction | and then they conspire and say: "hey, i heard you're getting a divorce." | this city is polluted and this city is destruction | waiting to happen and we're here for now | but this place is arid and this place is acrid | and my mind is wanting out so desperately | and they say things like: "he's moving away now lets just say he got a tumor and died. yeah, lets just lie today. we're all the same and we'll have a story by tomorrow morning for the nine o' clock news, nine o' clock news." | backing away with hands | shunning change | fearful hands in desperation | guarding my face | stand here, beside me | love me forever
