There is no woman There is no drug There's no amount of money or fun No conversation that I could have No entertainment that could distract Me from the voice that's always in my ear That's always tellin' me it doesn't matter Everywhere I go it's all I hear And it can hurt my head, but it can sound so sweet Wondering if I'm awake Maybe I'm dreaming Well how could I tell anyway? Try and define what was here today But then I know I can't believe my eyes How can I tell you're in front of me? And not a shadow made up in my mind I think I need it I know I don't I wanna drink and I wanna smoke I wanna kiss and take off your dress If it's not one thing, then it's the next Think that I'm using to get through the day That keeps me staring in the wrong direction And if I only ever look one way Then I can miss some things I might have liked to see Wondering if I'm awake Maybe I'm dreaming Well how could I tell anyway? Try and define what was here today But then I know I can't believe my eyes How can I tell you're in front of me? And not a shadow made up in my mind I built them up then they all fell down One at a time 'til they laid on the floor I know they'll be eventually run down And when it's gone, I'll be looking for more I built these walls up around myself They're not as safe as I thought that they were I built them up then they all fell down It was the prettiest sound that I ever heard
