Was a long time coming Had a head so big it sank into the ground Translucent prerogative It seemed much more derogative With hands tied where only I can see It's just a game I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you're closing in on me Making me rethink everything Numbing all the pain Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the only movie that I can see That makes me feel a little bit of anything at all Lost all sentiment Tucked it away in boxes under my bed It's better there than in my head If I were on the run I don't know what I'd be running from This was planned methodically I guess I stand for my beliefs I'm not sure if I don't believe in a god Or if he doesn't believe in me And I'm sick of scraped up knees And wearing shoes two sizes two big for me I'm not sure if I don't believe in a god Or if he doesn't believe in me And I'm sick of scraped up knees And wearing shoes two sizes two big for me I'm not sure if I don't believe in a god Or if he doesn't believe in me And I'm sick of scraped up knees And wearing shoes two sizes two big for me

Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten? Won't you walk me through it all, darling? Doesn't matter if it is raining Won't you walk me through it all? Even if the sun, it is blazing Even if the snow, it is raging All the elements, we must conquer To get to the other side of town I have suffered shipwreck against your dark brown eyes I have run aground against your broken-down smiles Believe me when I tell you I have no place to go But to go where the wildflowers grow and the stone gardens bloom (And the stone gardens bloom) Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten? Won't you walk me through it all, darling? Doesn't matter if it is raining We'll get to the other side of town

The yellow walls are lined with portraits And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel like picking up roses There's never been such grave a matter As comparing our new brand name black sunglasses All these poses such beautiful poses Makes any boy feel as pretty as princes The green autumnal parks conducting And the city streets a wondrous chorus singing All these poses, oh, how can you blame me? Life is a game and true love is a trophy And you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding Reclined amongst these packs of reasons For to smokes the days away into the evenings All these poses of classical torture Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard I did go from wanting to be someone now I'm drunk and wearing flip, flops on Fifth Avenue Once you've fallen from classical virtue Won't have a soul for to wake up and hold you In the green autumnal parks conducting All the city streets a wondrous chorus Singing all these poses now no longer boyish Made me a man now but who cares what that is? And you said watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, well you said Watch my head about it Baby, you said watch my head about it My head about it Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no Oh, no, oh, no, no kidding

You walk alone in the valley of life In the shadow of love Under the trees of happiness You walk alone like a baby unborn Like a father unknown Like a pocket penniless I'm happy that you really care But do you really know how scary This is for you and is for me Oh, do you really know? Do you really know? Oh, Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh, Natasha for you I sit alone on the cozy ground floor On a bench by the garden waiting also Waiting for love And thinking of all of The catty remarks I also swallow And as I've often asked before Does anybody know, know how scary This is for you and is for me? Does anybody know, anybody know? Oh, Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh, Natasha All I can do Is write a song for you Natasha
