I think about nearly nothing else when I'm on my own   Solitude is freezing the life from my bones   Looks like the same thing's happening again   It's getting strange 'round here, I don't feel the same   If you could only see me today      Cocoon you laugh in my face   We've gotta learn to communicate   Get real, I will always be this way   Paint the lines in gray      So, I think about nearly nothing else, still I'm on my own   Staying in ain't chic when you've got no home   Looks like this frame was made for me   You could climb across the rooftops, then you'd see   Through the burning sash, I'm free      Cocoon you laugh in my face   We've gotta learn to communicate   Get real, I will always be this way   Paint the lines in gray      Hey you, I'm on your case   You remind me of lovers I used to chase   Through the golden songs from a golden age   Let me love you today      So, I think about life outside this open shell   And then, any other man would think I've done so well   Ten years in masterpiece of gray   Then you'd get used to your presents day by day      Get used to your presents day by day   Get used to your presents day by day   Get used to your presents day by day   Get used to your presents day by day   Day by day, day by day, day by day, day by day, day by day
