Ask me for a moment to reflect And I will tell you where I was when you went down Show me where the lines can reconnect And I will parallelogram you to the ground There's no sound like falling down And the mineshaft's pretty deep There's no mattress, no soft ground And no film treatment for my life as a creep People try to put you in a book The words look good in black and white, I guess they should Gazing from the cliffs, you overlook The road that separates the future from the woods There's no town like safe and sound And the walls are smooth and steep There's no mattress, no soft ground And no film treatment for my life as a creep. I just hope one day you'll understand I'm not supremely evil And I can be better than I am You can take your guns to town or run But there is no forbidden planet far enough The slasher knows you'll trip over a tree trunk But you still wander off alone no matter what. There's no end like safe and sound And no beauty like asleep There's no mattress, no soft ground And no film treatment for my life as a creep And no film treatment for my life as a creep And no film treatment for my life as a creep
