All the time the entrenched delay
All the time they waste away
I could talk about the scandal
(It’s) More injustice than you can handle
There may be lessons to ignore
I just don’t pay attention anymore
I should think about something new
But all my neurons lead back to you
You’re the girl on the fringe
Don’t you feel just a tinge
Of guilt for running free
Through your strange anatomy?

I sit on a chair
Thinking about her abstract hair
How I want to be
In the general vicinity
I light a match
Just to watch it burn on down
I don't understand
Why I'm alone
When all over town ...
Down to the street
Wishing she was here with me
Scrounge around on the shore
Moonbeams refracted into my core
Draw lines in the sand
Tracing out tomorrow's roots
'Cause I - I'm Orbiting Amy
Orbiting her
In the most precarious of positions
Orbiting her
I feel self-exposed by the vision
Orbiting her
Rotating round ...

The wine's in the fridge
Take it - empty it
Have one last drink before it's gone.

She dreamed that I woke a kissed her
But I never had the chance to risk her
It takes too long to react
I only realize long after the fact
Staring at her hair in the setting sun
Now I can see she’s really under the gun
I’m going to keep everybody guessing
And I’ll be guessing too
I’m going to keep on mind messing
Will I be thinking of you
Head on my pillow, says she’s sick of boys
So I’m separating signal from noise
Recalls a time she was young and naïve
Seems she wanted to relive and relieve
It takes too long to react
I only realize long after the fact
