lyrics

Gone To Seed

once I was a rainbow exploding with colour
I was a fine profusion of beautiful hues and movement
I tried to pay my dues, tried to make both shoes fit
now I'm so deep in debt and tripping over those old dance steps

chorus:
hold me up I'm weak in the knees
my garden of earthly delights is choked with weeds
and everything just became exactly what it seems
oh please help me
i've gone to seed

When I was young I was invincible like a superhero
infatuated with the visuals like a super zero
playing with my mind like some toy to be fucked with
now everything looks broken, scarred and dilapidated
All the pages in my burnt out dream diary
are victims of the viscous winds that rip them from their bindings
they whip around the buildings like swallows in the evening
catch in the grass by the railway tracks, yellow and disintegrate

chorus:

I never really lost my innosence
i threw it away with the rest of the evidence
i never really found what i was looking for
i don't even know what i was looking for
like some dandelion that just lost his head
i wish i could go back and do it all over again
I'm just a goin' downtown clown shoulda stayed at home in bed
shoulda created something beautiful instead of making such a mess
