Sitting on the bed or lying wide awake  
There’s demons in my head and it’s more than I can take  
I think I’m on a roll but I think it’s kinda weak  
Saying all I know is I gotta get away from me  
Gotta get away from me

(Just gotta get used to it)  
You irritate me my friend  
(This is no social crisis)  
This is you having fun

(No crisis)  
Getting burned by the sun  
(This is true)  
This is no social crisis  
Just another tricky day for you

Going through security I held her for so long.  
She finally looked at me in love, and she was gone.

Just a song before I go, a lesson to be learned.  
Travelling twice the speed of sound, it’s easy to get burned.

Social security took care of this lad  
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower

Won’t you tell me if I’m coming on too strong?  
This heart of mine has been hurt before  
This time I wanna be sure

You give me just a taste so I want more and more  
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw  
Cos now you’ve got me crawlin’, crawlin’ on the floor  
And I’ve never met a girl like you before

Come down in time I still hear her say, so clear in my ear like it was today  
Come down in time was the message she gave  
Come down in time and I’ll meet you half way

There are women and women, and some hold you tight  
While some leave you counting the stars in the night.

Women behind bars, women in fast cars  
Women in distress, women with no dress  
Women in aeroplanes, women who play games  
Women in uniform, see that woman with her clothes torn

When a man loves a woman,  
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else,  
He’d change the world for the good thing he’s found.

They glow below and above  
Your sins you won’t remember  
And all you’ll find there is love
