Too Romantic to Love (Anyone)
Too romantic to love
I got my narratives
All these everyday friends
I can't forgive
Dreamed the glory of war
But can't escape the trench
To view yourself as a hero
Gotta shatter and bend
Everything
So I'd rather die alone
Unable to form
One full thought
Windmill giants
Have all turned
Back to stone
Step away from the mirror
And I try to forget
Everything
Too romantic to love
Too fat to bid
Ineffectual men
But great fathers to kids
And couldn't I be
One of them by the fridge
Looking into its light
For the secret of life
And how to like
What it gives
But me
I'm special cause I'm outside
But me
Locus of all intensity
But me
Master of self pity
Never changing
Never able
To get inside
The ordinary
Wearing the helm
Of a slain Moorish king
It's just a basin of tin
Protecting childhood dreams
So I'd rather die alone
With visions of heaven
And us on our thrones
May the scales never fall
From our eyes
Let me have my illusions
Till the end of time
You're still
The last thought
Right on dancing
In my mind's eye
In my mind's eye
I got my narratives
All these everyday friends
I can't forgive
Dreamed the glory of war
But can't escape the trench
To view yourself as a hero
Gotta shatter and bend
Everything
So I'd rather die alone
Unable to form
One full thought
Windmill giants
Have all turned
Back to stone
Step away from the mirror
And I try to forget
Everything
Too romantic to love
Too fat to bid
Ineffectual men
But great fathers to kids
And couldn't I be
One of them by the fridge
Looking into its light
For the secret of life
And how to like
What it gives
But me
I'm special cause I'm outside
But me
Locus of all intensity
But me
Master of self pity
Never changing
Never able
To get inside
The ordinary
Wearing the helm
Of a slain Moorish king
It's just a basin of tin
Protecting childhood dreams
So I'd rather die alone
With visions of heaven
And us on our thrones
May the scales never fall
From our eyes
Let me have my illusions
Till the end of time
You're still
The last thought
Right on dancing
In my mind's eye
In my mind's eye
