Elaine
Walking by the earth stops at your feet
Why can’t you be with me?
But could you be
I thought that I thought of everything
Every song I sing
Can’t you see?
But nothing ever changes, and nothing stays the same
I can’t pretend to understand Elaine
My sheltered life inside my sheltered state
The challenge far too late
And attacks me
Troubled days are sure to pass the time
I picture you as mine
To relax me
But nothing ever changes, and nothing stays the same
I can’t pretend to understand Elaine—Elaine
They say you’re a figment of my mind
Cruel just to be kind
So condescending
They say I should leave you far behind
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never
‘cause life is just a stage, love, and we all play the part
And some could claim that I’m insane for art
But nothing ever changes, and nothing stays the same
I can’t pretend to understand Elaine
