I don't trust anyone but you and you're the one that I should fear
I've been told and told and told again but I still refuse to hear
I'm caught as tight as tight can be
I see the door outside but I have no key
I know exactly what is wrong with me but still I fall
I try to grip the mountainside
my hands are scraped, I cannot hide
I'm powerless before you
someone throw me a quarter
the meter is ticking and the tow truck is waiting at the end of the block
waiting like a chopping block
to take my fingers with one fell chopand leave me with only instruments of destruction

like a shark with no teeth caught on a reef
dead and fed on by the plankton

so now this song has no music
because you've taken my music away.
