The only crime was I was under orders
the only son of fourteen daughters
that was me, pretending to be in prison
I changed the picture from inside the television

you go berserk when I change the rules of the game
I will repeat each word of it just the same
this quality time isn't quality time at all
this quality mind doesn't answer when I call it

I am greedy for your heart
I would love to change your mind
help me leave from my grieving for a while

there is a hole inside my brain
big enough for the two of us
if I could just get down where you want it
this sinking feeling, I'll never rise above it

it takes every creature, it takes every kind
a momentary lapse of the mind
I am in the moment, I'm perfectly here
I can't take the past off
can't get myself clear

I am greedy for your heart
I would love to change your mind
help me leave from my grieving for a while

it takes every creature, it takes every kind
a momentary lapse of the mind
I am in the moment, I'm perfectly here
I can't take the past off
can't get myself clear

it takes every creature, it takes every kind
a momentary lapse of the mind
I am in the moment, I'm perfectly here
I can't take the past off
I can't take the past off

I am in the moment, I'm perfectly here
I can't take the past off
I can't take the past off
