Anatole
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What happened here?
Where did you go?
Are you hurt,
Are you stoned?
What's gone wrong, anatole?
What's gone wrong?
You're not in sync
You haven't been quite
Right all your life
And it shows when you smile, anatole
And you never did say goodbye
Are feeling sick?
Well, you made yourself,
'cause you've been here before
You'll just head for the door, anatole
And what's been erased
Has left you in no place,
No trace
And you never did say...
We never could figure out why
Were you over it all,
Or just too high?
'cause you never did say...
What's gone wrong, anatole?
What's gone wrong, anatole?
What's gone wrong, anatole?
What's gone wrong, anatole?
