You must philosophise

But why must you bore me to tears?

You're red around the eyes

You tell me things no one else hears

You spend all your time crying

Crying the hours in tears

Crying the hours in tears

Come lend your time to me

And you will know that you are free

And when you look at me

Don't think you're owning what you see

For remember that you're free

And that's what you want to be

So just lend your time to me

You must philosophise

But why must you bore me to tears?

You're red around the eyes

You tell me things no one else hears

You spend all your time crying

Crying the hours in tears

Crying the hours in to ears
