Came To Find You Songtext / Lyric

I came to find her

Far across the world I came

Lookin for my lover

Lost shadow in the world game



The time she left me I was

Burnin like a bird on fire

Puppet on a melting wire

Windup spring unwound



She found love the

Dancing on a money box

Tying up the thought fox

Givin me the runaround



Gender gap tender spot

She loved me she loved me not

Turnin on her heel she got

Married on the rebound






But now I'm sittin here having coffee with you

Wondering how you feel today

Do you still have sugar in yr cappuccino?

Do yr eyes still flutter away?

I'm feelin like a man that fell to earth

Doesn't recognise the pulse

I'm startin to wonder just who we are

I tried to find you

Now I'm tryin to convince myself

That I'm not somebody else



Old age new age

Trap the bird inside the cage

Pleasing daddy leads to rage

Theatre in the round eye

Blazing crazy



Happy sad time bomb

Swingin on a pendulum

Who can calculate the sum

Sleepin with the outcome's

Easy peasy



Say cheese smile please

Bare yr teeth but not yr soul

Sex & hugs & shock control

Tryin hard pushin for yr own space



Fear of not enough for me

Left alone without a lover

Moving target finds it's cove

Livin 'tween a cushion and a soft place



You say you will no longer walk the path of fear

Step out of nintendo game

Warrior woman will she'd no tears

She will generate no blame

But time is a river of deep belief

Head above the surface or drown

To swim back upstrea

Tryin to grasp a past dream

It's hard to face the fact

That in this fiction

I'm living on your own



Here I sit now

In a theatre in the round

Watch you dance without a sound

Are we dead or are we in the dreamtime?



Fellow travellers round yr fire

Watch you walk the high thought wire

Watchin for the flyer to inspire us real time



They come to see and to be seen

The real dramas they play between

The acts and encores 'tween the scenes

Read between the songlines



To show yr vulnerability

Demands intense humility

Cos human fallibility

Knows self esteem is simply mainly

Ego there you go

Most of the time



Once I was a teacher in a circle of ghosts

None of them believed they were dead

I closed my eyes and took em to the mountain but

We went down a stairway instead

We dug up our bodies and many old fears

Shook out dusty wings to fly

I began to wonder what I was doing this for

But I forgot to ask them then

Just what it's like to die
