Crutches - Bettie Serveert
-------- ---------------

From Album Lamprey

Boredom always lurks within strange places
But still I find a way to feed my mind
The worlds collide beyond those faces
I'm never sure of what goes on inside

If I apologize for every crutch I use
I guess I never would've walked inside those shoes

Behold the world that I've been shaping
I never said that I belong
In other words, have I been flaking?
Don't you know what i would have done

Should I apologize for every crutch I use
I guess I never would've walked inside those shoes
Let it down, down, down
Let it bubble all around me
Always something else to prove
Let it down, down, down
Let the shallowness surround me, let it drown me

From the tint of my eyes
? I can see the ____ world ] this part is tough to figure
? spinning like a girl ] out.....
never satisfied
and though its plain to see
You don't exist for me
Don't believe every word that they say

Let it down, down, down
Let it bubble all around me
Always something else to prove
Let it down, down, down
Let the shallowness surround me, let it drown me

A part of my mind
I never understand
Why its close at hand
It's never out of sight
and though its part of me
You're never going to see

Don't believe every word that they say
Don't believe every word that they say

Thanks to Joao Benedito dos Santos Filho
(sorokin@xavante.icmsc.sc.usp.br) for making a valiant try at
the lyrics on the earlier version. Lots of corrections,
though! :) If anyone can figure out those two lines in the
middle, please email them to me... regards.
