Trey Anastassio, Tom Marshall





it's hidden far away

but someday i may tell

the tale of metal tangle

when into your world i fell

without you now i wander

soaking secretly afraid

'cause in your grasp the fears don't last

and some of them have stayed



i wheeled around because i didn't

hear what you had said

and saw you dancing with elihu

up on leemor's bed

and i was foggy rather groggy,

you helped me to my car

the binding belt enclosing me,

a sample in a jar



and on the market stands unfolding

with all their willies and their wares

i shuffle by alert but numb

to all the glances and the glares

and i think of you unheeding

all the times i raise my cup

it's now i know that you knew

that i'd soon end up end up



you tricked me like the others

and now i don't belong

the simple smiles and good times

seem all wrong





chorus out
