Don Quixote

歌詞

Handfulls of sleeping pills washed down with a bottle of wine Couldn't stop my mind, couldn't hold my attention From Noticing the cracks, the holes in my logic And the permanence of the things that I have done I notice as I'm riding on a subway late at night In the flickering light, that I have always loved Imaginary princesses – it's a simple, brutal truth That while riding high, I am Don Quixote I am a bull in a china shop while stick-limbed, skinny, frail I destroy all the pretty things while my body wastes away And for my crimes they packed me up and shipped my soul away So my fragile arms couldn't cause you any harm or any pain A letter comes down from the sky she writes a lot of nothing But I lose my mind and spend a whole week thinking Of all the things I never did – that last and final promise That I couldn't keep – couldn't make it across the border Every time I touch the phone the urge takes hold my fingers And my words turn cruel, I'll make her say she loves me Forgetting at the other end a pair of trembling fingers Dials frantically – my imaginary girlfriend I am a bull in a china shop while stick-limbed, skinny, frail I destroy all the pretty things while my body wastes away And for my crimes they packed me up and shipped my soul away So my fragile arms couldn't cause you any harm or any pain So forgive me for the things I've done and all I never did And I'll try to do the same for you, I know you're just a kid
