Falling Spikes - Past Lives

Falling spikes follow me home

Falling spikes pierce my shadow

Shatter the sidewalk at my feet

Through the ceiling while I sleep

Everyone I knew split in two

Falling spikes got me in distress

Falling spikes make me so nervous

I couldn’t get a date last night because I couldn’t take a step outside

Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police

When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes

All the people that I meet they want to run away

Plaster my face on every street

Violation!

Violation!

Threw me in a quarantine, tossed in a magazine subscription

The spikes keep falling in sheets--run for shelter, run for refuge

Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police

When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes

All the people that I meet they want to run away

When the metal waves collide I want to turn off the tide

My, oh, my!

They put me away

Why, oh, why?

They put me away
