You're crippled like a horse   Fall legless down a hill   Is that your notion?   I've escaped.      With fingernails like chalk   Spill dust into the wind   You're a testament to your own mistakes   You've fallen far into the blackness   Of some stranger's arms   And the coldness of his touch      With so much love to give   But so much more to take   And so vanity that's available exclusively to you      Oh, some love can be fictitious   As if anyone needs to know   Just how long now   Just how long now   Just how long now      I've put words into your mouth   I breathe truths into your ear   But that feeling has been locked to you      I've been lazy in my cave   But it's founded me no gain   It's not fair    So I'll be asleep up to you      Oh, some loves can be fictitious   As if anyone needs to know.   From the sublime to the ridiculous   It's apart from where you know   Oh, some love can be fictitious   As if anyone needs to know   Just how long now   Just how long now   Just how long now      Oh, hey, how long's it gonna take?   How long's it gonna take?   For you to fall   To keep me   I just don't need one more mistake   Some loves, they grow so fictitious now   Some loves, they grow so fictitious now   Some loves, they grow so fictitious   Don't they?   They're so fictitious now      I don't have to walk away   From you
