This fascination

where did it come from?

what does it mean

when your fascinated by things?

but you know, you'll never see

i overheard this conversation

as it started to belong to me

your convinced that where your born is where your from

no, your convinced that where your born is not where your from

its only where your

waiting to see it through

and not understanding why i had to

be reminded that i'll tell you when i

waiting for longer than i had to

or could you just tell me now

couldnt you tell me, now?

even more money spent

nothing left to go round

even more money spent

nothing left to go round

all these descriptions

where did they come from?

do they describe what you mean

perfectly?

and how can i explain to you

how i know that

its a natual order of the things that i believe

your convinced that where your born is where your from

no, your convinced that where your born is not where your from

its only where your

waiting to see it through

not understanding why i had to

be reminded that i'll tell you when i

waiting for longer than i had to

or could you just tell me now?

couldnt you tell me, now?

even more money spent

nothing left to go round

even more money spent

nothing left to go round

nothing left to go round

nothing left to go round

nothing left to go round

la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la
