The Image Is
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.
I intrude on patience
I intrude on young hearts
I intrude on all such things
That can take you by surprise
Time and time again
So?
I've no welcome for you
I've no welcome for talk
I've no welcome in my house
I've tried too long you know
Time and time again
Oh look there's a man inside
The head's not the museum it's supposed to be
We sleep with machines that breathe
And some even have names the executive dream
We're all so sincere
I'll sing a song from the film that broke your heart
Oh look at the smile that cracks
Tomorrow we'll be civilized
And buy the whole world clothes
We don't believe in you
We're specialized mechanics in repairing the bitch
You bounce around my head
You say it's a little but i'm sure it's ok
