Motionless

from Johanna, Johanna by Ian Taylor

lyrics

I've got to stop talking to myself
but I picture someone else
who will never be here.
So I lay, quiet, motionless
staring at my fan
going round and around again
like the thoughts inside my head.

And if I only had some company
then maybe I could get some sleep
and smile upon awakening.
But even still it's kill or be killed in this world made of glass.

The parades wade through the streets
I sit here with my drink
staring down at my feet
Wishing I was anyone else.
And when the sky turns dark
and the floats are torn apart
I'll stumble alone through the stars
and endless swirl of stray dog barks.

The moon is walking me home tonight
cause the bags beneath my sleepless eyes
are softly spoken tell-tale lies
that give everyone the wrong idea.

And what a drag it is
to simply exist
in the midst of all of this
Johanna, Johanna you are missed.
