Lyrics

Walking through the city a melting snoman frowns at me
I try to keep my balance on the ice
Gunshots in the distance, give thanks to God that it's not me
Let some other random person pay the price

You're so beautiful I love you without knowing you
That's as close as I can come these days
As you walk out the subway door I realize that there's more of you
In another time, another face

If only you would try to provoke me I could fuck with you
But you won't even look me in the eyes
I don't know which bothers me more
The indifference that you imply or the hatred that I fantasize

You're so typical I hate you without knowing you
That's the best that I can do these days
As you turn around the block I've instantly forgotten you
'Til you show your face some other day

People could you tell me where I could buy some sanity?
