lyrics

It's been six months now
Since I've seen the sun
And I'm beginning to doubt
There ever was one

With my good friend gone
It's down to us two
How could she have left me
Here

In this hidden cave I've grown from
A little babe to a golden
Idol towering over
And the tyrant's won
If I don't come

When you cry in your crib
Reaching out in the dark for comfort
I give and I give
When all that I need is a mother

Down on your knees
You kiss my hands
In search of a ring
In the sparkling sand

Had I known before
I would wring your neck
Slip out the door
Never seen again

This hurts me more than it hurts you
Well, you get what you ask for, don't you

Back through the snow
The moon hanging low
Bloated, grey and still
Six lights appear
Like eyes in a mirror
Coming over the hill
If I stop in my tracks
Drop my paper bag
And kneel for a moment's prayer
In the freezing rain
I can hear them say
'He came out of nowhere, man'

I came out of nowhere
And that's where I'm going
