Shell lyrics

Hello sweet creature
Won t you give me some bloodlike guarantee
I ve been listening to myself too long
And they re making a prophet out of me
I m as empty as a shell can ever be
I ve been walking through the desert
No it must have been the library
Reading a book which once gave me hope
Now it s making a fool out of me
I m as empty as a shell can ever be
Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarkingto myself
Never noticed that the crowds were leaving
Never looked for anyone else
Now it s market day almost every day
Yet they give away their love for free
I m just waiting for a ship to come
And it s making a slave out of me
I m as empty as a shell can ever be
Lazy dreaming, half remembering, half remarking to myself
Never noticed that the crowds were leaving
Never looked for anyone else
Hello sweet creature
Won t you give me some bloodlike guarantee
I ve been listening to myself too long
I ve been walking through the desert
Must have been the library
