Went Looking For Trouble

You are not fucking around anymore You just don't have the energy And you say, "Get up off your bended knee Grow up" The rain is falling, and it chases us like a rapist Into the basement of your parent's house Where I will sit down, quiet as a mouse And watch you eat yourself alive But I meant you no harm, at the start Still working on your short story Like Simon's human trampoline You're wearing all of New York City's complaints Still naked underneath our clothes Still smoking out of fire escape windows I know it is too much to ask you to ever change On a towel, staring at the ocean I was late, you were right on time It wasn't fair, but it never really could have been A fair fight Lover's prayer, please just let me stay here What on earth is wrong me? I need a girl, don't send me a woman Answer me And at night, when the walls disintegrate I changed my mind, never mind, think I'll stay How could I know, could I know, could I know Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know Could I know? Lover's prayer, simple to remember I was wrong, you were right Are we free or merely just pretending to be alive Ah, let's go home, I've seen all I want The chemicals on the balcony We took enough to make anybody turn blue It's time to leave And when you walked in on me naked and dumb I was too bored to imagine much love How could I know, could I know, could I know Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know Could I know, could I know, could I know, could I know Could I know?
