Richard's Song

lyrics

Richard told me love is such an abstract thing
but I thought that it was not
Richard looked at me but his eyes were not as close
as I wanted them to be
then I opened the doors
I opened my windows
and asked the birds
why I cannot fly

Richard, oh Richard
my heart is a lion, too
Richard, oh Richard
my friend of iron
my friend not blue

Richard’s skin is made of loneliness, clouds and wind
so I cannot touch his hands
Richard talks to me and I fell I’m going to faint
but he doesn’t know this
so I curse all gods
and call up my friends
compulsively asking
why not this time

Richard, oh Richard
my eyes are two apples, too
Richard, oh Richard
my friend of ether
my friend not true

Richard, oh Richard
my mind is wandering, too
Richard, oh Richard
my friend of cotton
my friend with no clue

Girl if you saw my eyes
sanpaku feelings
I was drowning
I was falling
I tried to pray to some god
but I couldn’t see no light
I’m glad I’m not faking it
I’m not faking anymore
I’m glad Richard’s dead
he’s not here anymore
I’m glad Richard’s dead
he’s not lying anymore
I’m glad Richard’s dead
