i've been caught in a crime   i don't know and i don't mind it; i'm flying blind   people try to feel me out, get inside   i'm a lost cause. i'm a porcupine.   you and all the others doing fine   do you still decide to stay indoors?   are you cold and chrome and cauterized?   i've a collection called the battered boy      well it's after the end and i'm still around   i can't believe my eyes and i can't turn them down    it's after the end and i'm here alone   it's bad enough that it's everyday i am reborn      any sign of life shines like a lighthouse    i can see the shore   in the aftermath of enterprise    you'll be careful what your looking for   i've learned to do your lines    i don't need your conversation anymore      cause it's after the end and i'm still around   i can't believe my eyes and i can't turn them down    it's after the end and i'm here alone   it's bad enough that it's everyday i am reborn      another life to think about is problematic anyhow   i will build my home   this tragic scene will never last i am a machine    i'm moving fast   piling up the bones      but she goes slow she can move like a wave   been through hell beating out our mistakes   meet me at al's and she said it's a date   it's two o'clock; she must have just missed the train      it's after the end and i'm still around   i can't believe my eyes and i can't turn them down    it's after the end and i'm here alone   it's bad enough that it's everyday i am reborn
