Was I standing on the table
Was I dancing with myself
Am I here or am I able
Am I seeing someone else
I am caught between opinion
And the proof within my vision
Give me just a second longer
And I'll surely make the time today
In the evening of the day I find a
Restless kind of doubt
Are you here or far away from me
And can I live without
You're escaping every moment
To the back rows of the garden
Give me just a single pin prick
And I'll hope to die before I wake
Standing with all my papers and suits
Packages bearing the sweetest of fruit
I am the king of the ivory boot
Silently taking her eyes off of you
All of your life and the things that you do
I'm taking a bite with my ivory tooth
Tell my grandpa I'm a lover
Tell my mother I'm upset
Tell my sister when you see her
That my words are all in jest
I'm escaping every moment
To the back rows of the garden
Give me just a single pin prick
And I'll hope to die before I wake
Standing with all my papers and suits
Packages bearing the sweetest of fruit
I am the king of the ivory boot
Silently taking her eyes off of you
All of your life and the things that you do
