She said, “I know what it’s like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad.”
And she’s making me feel like I’ve never been born.
I said, “Who put all the things in your head.
Things that make me feel that I’m mad.
And you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.”
She said, “You don’t understand what I said.”
I said, “No, no, no you’re wrong.
When I was a boy
Everything was right,
Everything was right.”
I said, “Even though you know what you know.
I know that I’m ready to leave
‘Cos you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.”
