Falling spikes follow me home. Falling spikes pierce my shadow. Shatter the sidewalk at my feet. Through the ceiling while I sleep. Everyone I knew split in two. Falling spikes got me in distress. Falling spikes make me so nervous. I couldn't get a date last night because I couldn't take a step outside. Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police. When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes. All the people that I meet they want to run away. Plaster my face on every street. Violation! Violation! Threw me in a quarantine, tossed in a magazine subscription. The spikes keep falling in sheets--run for shelter, run for refuge. Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police. When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes. All the people that I meet they want to run away. When the metal waves collide I want to turn off the tide, My, oh, my! They put me away. Why, oh, why? They put me away.
