Lyrics:
I knew a girl whose name was Lorelei
Or maybe not, I really don’t remember
She set me down and she told me I was wrong
I was a fraud, a juvenile pretender
A combination of intricate factors
A permutation of choices and luck
led us to start a war but we ain’t no warriors
The eternal burning of wanting and lust
it blew me down, it’s really complicated
The gravy train was really going fast
its consequences I underestimated
Sometimes I walk the streets of this place
try to remember the lines of her face
and when I blame myself I don’t feel better
I let you out
You let me in
When I call your name again
What do you hear?
Shoot me down
What does it mean?
It will always be the same
Never for real
It’s just an easy game
No need to explain the rules
It’s never been for sale
nor for reuse
My doctor said it’s just lack of affection
“Don’t be so weak, it’s just exaggerated”
I told her: “Doctor, you know my predilection
Some soothing words would be much appreciated”
We’re just reward and endorphin seekers
we blindly follow the lies of new leaders
we’re frightened by the thought of dying alone
I let you out
You let me in
When I call your name again
What do you hear?
Shoot me down
What does it mean?
It will always be the same
Never for real
It’s just an easy game
No need to explain the rules
It’s never been for sale
nor for reuse
(childish synth solo)
I let you out…
