I used to know you

I used to care

I used to know you

Are you still there?

I won't touch you

I won't feel you

I won't hear you

I won't see you

I used to know you

Are you still there?

I used to know you

I used to care

It goes far and wide

It's a cruel device

I cannot drive

You from my mind

I won't reach out

I won't strike in

I won't dream about

I won't parse the thought

I used to know you

I used to care

I used to know you

Are you still there?

I jumped from the top

And fell right back and I

Hit the ground running

Scared

I swam to the bottom of the sea

And I asked around for someone

Who might know me

Ain't a sad when your choices

are Vegas and your friends

99 floors

And still nowhere to go

99 floors

And still nowhere to roam

A punch to the head

I passed right out and an

impotent stood dumbstruck

and stared

Armed once again by the fist of fate

I wait for his resurrection home

Ain't it sad when your choices

are vices or advice

It's eleven o'clock

And don't that make you bawl

It's eleven o'clock

And don't ya make it bawl

Evil, ailing

Feeling oh so low

I'm slow to anger

Wonder where I could

Ever go

You know I'd have to forget

It goes far and wide

It's a cruel device

I cannot drive

You from my mind
