The Great Storm Of 1987

They say "rest easy" to me
Well, it's a lot more cynical than it seems
I'm nothing more than another body
Finding my home in misery

I've had this sour taste in my mouth
Since I chewed you up and spit you out
I kept you like a treasure, close to the chest
But you, on the other hand
Kept me at 20,000 leagues at best

I need to find some contrast in my women
And frankly, I don't care if they give a damn
With the wave of my hand
I could change again

But being cavalier doesn't help
"What's it feel like to be alone your whole life?"
Is there nothing you can do?
"We're trying to help you

Trust us, she simply won't do
"You can run for cover
But there are no hills to head
I need security, the way I feel in my bed
I try to keep these demons away day by day
"We all have them, just in different ways."
