Monomania

There the clock has no hands, no hands, Yet the time still turns. I didn't have no plans, no plans, But the heart still yearns.

Down on one knee, but the church bells stopped their tolling. Slip on the ring, but the birds've stopped their singing. Don't you hate me, don't you hate me darling? She's a scarecrow, but I can't stop how close I'm getting.

There the sky has no clouds, no clouds, But the light still dies. Here there's no crowd, no crowd, Yet I can still feel their eyes.

Hear that sweet song, but there's nobody out dancing. Turn up the heat, but there's nobody out moving. Don't you hate me, don't you hate me darling? She's a sideshow, but I can't stop how much I'm watching.

There the tree bears no fruit, no fruit, But something does grow. There seems to be no route, no route, Yet still I must go.

Rip off the sheets, but there's nothing there worth seeing. Get out the house, but there's nowhere now worth going. Don't you hate me, don't you hate me darling? She's a lotto, and I can't stop Can't stop Won't stop Can't stop myself from playing.
