You're not so viscous are you now
I feel okay to walk you down
That ancient floor I won't fall this time
An ashtray full of things I proved
Smolders in wait for the crisis of the day
The same refrain, but I remain removed

It must be nice to burn your shoes
You get a new pair every afternoon
The same old style, they don't jump too high
Same intonation as they walk that groove
Down to the basement to crank the stereo
While I explain why I remain removed

I remain removed, I remain removed
I've wasted every ounce of wonder I could lose
I promise you I would be elsewhere if I could
And stay for good

There was whispers of water on the lawn
Where we once crashed that ugly Sunday dawn
The makeshift side-winding blender surprise
Dancing upon collapsing roofs
One for the fading moon and one to block the sun
From all these stains that remain unremoved

I remain removed, I remain removed
I've wasted every ounce of wonder I could lose
I promise you I would be elsewhere if I could
And stay for good
