Your laying on your bed - & making shadows on the wall<br />
   It's almost too hot to move -<br />
Outside your window -<br />
   People are driving home from work - for the weekend.<br />
But your waiting for the phone to ring -<br />
Your gonna tell her exactly what you think.<br />
You practice getting your mouth around the words<br />
That explain the way you feel.<br />
You've been scared to show your real self -<br />
In case she doesn't like what she sees -<br />
You've been a "prostitute to humility" -<br />
She's invaded your life & you've got to<br />
Live apart - in order to...survive -<br />
You were emotionally independent -<br />
   But starved of affection.<br />
But now you've been trapped by tenderness<br />
& been beaten into "submission"...<br />
It's now way past the hour she usually phones -<br />
& you've decided not to tell her your little joke<br />
Where could she have got to.<br />
Why is she torturing you -<br />
You roll on your side -<br />
& run your fingers through your hair -<br />
Your scared of losing her -<br />
& facing yourself -<br />
A red sky at night may be a shepherds delight,<br />
But your cutting chunks from your heart.<br />
& rubbing the meat into your eyes.<br />
She can't leave you now - you've given up all your friends<br />
Your relying on her - for your independence<br />
She can't leave you here - alone & defenseless<br />
Your relying on her for your independence<br />
YOUR RELYING ON HER<br />
