Troglodyte
There’s water beneath this sweltering sand
cause I cried a river over you
a bleeding river like the Rio Grande
whose desertlike ending makes me blue.
This thing called love is a crazy worry.
Morning into night, nothing seems right.
My whirly-bird ride, gone in a hurry
has left me without an appetite.
I’m lonely all the time. Please take my hand!
You can’t kindle romance with one match.
Those fools that rush to the hottest rock bands
can’t free themselves from that booby hatch.
My heart lies broken in these burning dunes.
It finds no solace from your cold lips.
Our love’s a dance floor where none hear the tunes.
Please love me again! Nothing here fits.
Where will I go on this river of no return?
My raft bears my heart to the sea of destiny.
Lost on tossing waves, overwhelmed and overturned
I am but a water-drop in an endless sea.
