Alpha Flight - Telethon

Don’t know how you trust I’ll do the right thing

I was three quarters of the way to the wrong one

Life won’t end, just see the picture in widescreen

Help this lost soul who can’t call it over and done

In your bedroom now, the tension is tightening

Far away from where I learned about days like these

You and I both know the world is a frightening place

Sometimes when you’ve got people to please

And I can’t shake this expression that seems like

I, I’m the new sucker here in town

It’s difficult;

impossible to ignore that I was thinking about your wedding gown

But that just doesn’t feel right

Oh, it just doesn’t sound right

I’ll never tell you any of this at all

I get the feeling that the gap is widening

If I don’t do something now I’ll be alone for a long time

Can’t fathom living in a world uncrushed by

The constant pressure from the other kind

So here I filibuster

Cause that’s all that I can muster

And it’s got a certain lustre, doesn’t it?

A near stranger in my arms

Who’s gauging if I trust her

Which I read as stifled laughter, so I flip

I never used to succumb to this

But I don’t know who her mother is

And that’s an improbable new sensation

How are we to make any real connection

If I haven’t known your face

If we’re not from the same place

It just won’t work and I’ll be left to shovel through ashes again

So now you see why I can’t do the right thing

I overthink and wind up doing the wrong one

Just bang my head until I end up finding

Another lost soul who can’t call it over and done

Or I die
