Locusts |

| 1 | Wasn't it you who said, | |
| 2 | "Old friends are like locusts coming back from the dead, | |
| 3 | "Seeking shelter come the first winter's frost | |
| 4 | "And looking for something in the good times they've lost—" | |
| 5 | "But I'm not going to let you | |
| 6 | "Take this heart again; | |
| 7 | "I'm not going to let you | |
| 8 |
"Break this heart again." |
|
| 9 | You're out in the street and I know you're alone | |
| 10 | Hot and hungry in the subterranean zone | |
| 11 | And it's crazy that I almost want you to stay | |
| 12 | At least 'till tomorrow or your pain goes away | |
| 13 | And you stand there | |
| 14 | Like some dream come true | |
| 15 | Like a vision of splendor | |
| 16 |
From when I needed you |
|
| 17 | Well, I've walked those streets alone in hell's fire | |
| 18 | Seeking passage 'round the third circle and floundering in the quagmire | |
| 19 | Now I'm finally climbing to the top | |
| 20 | You're coming around my door | |
| 21 | Saying, "Baby let me make it up | |
| 22 |
"And come inside once more." |
|
| 23 | Wasn't it you who said, | |
| 24 | "Old friends are like nightmares winding up in your head | |
| 25 | "Raking up the muck from the mouldy archives | |
| 26 | "And rising Phoenix-like from the ashes of our past lives." | |
| 27 | But I'm not going to let you | |
| 28 | Take this heart again | |
| 29 | No, I'll never let you | |
| 30 | Get that close again | |
| 31 |
To break my heart again |
