Alkaloid

I was looking down at the sunrise from the veranda
I was exposing my drained arms to the wind
I was remembering the colour of his hair when
From wherever my mind was, alights a crow, scolding me
Control yourself
This isn't like you at all
Being in love is for a moment, a whimsical wink
Getting too caught-up only leads to regrets
Yes, you're right
It's exactly as you say but
The warning came much too late
I already had my shoes on
Before I was done hearing the last word
I'm off to go see him
A yellow brick road that goes winding on and on
Come and lead me all the way to his home
I'll waste some time and buy him those cigarettes
Say you love me with a voice exhaled from those pitch
black lungs
All the signal lights in the city turned green and
The rules that someone had set became absolutely
useless
It's like the cigarettes that disappear into his hand
Trickery unseen to the eye everywhere
There is nothing I can believe in but
There is just one thing that I know
This right foot and left foot are both heading straight
for him
It's not like I've got brakes to begin with
I'm off to go see him
I'm yearning for him
I'm in love with him
