January 1979, saw a terrible crash
And it couldn t help but laugh
My ear pressed against the pass
Like a glass on a wall of a hospital photograph
My forehead no longer sweet
With holy kisses worthy of your fiery lips
I was floating in a peaceful sea
Rescued by a sinking ship

If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall
(I could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall
(If I could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall
(I could be your servant)
If I could become the servant of all
No lower place to fall
(If I could be your servant)

You watch me like a ten car highway wreck
With a tact, bold or curiosity?
Us looking down on the tops of the hats
Of us passersby from your seventh floor balcony
And grew such a height we missed
Creatures too small for sight
Carry on over conversation as the misguided insects
Crown me their grasshopper king with a dance of celebration

After years with their crown on my head
I m rolling over in bed unconcerned and comfortably numb
Kept busy indulging in the pleasures of the wealthy
Oh, someone make me afraid of what I ve become!
At the first sign of possible sorrow I ll turn my heel and run
Oh, I ll never learn
My life s become the sugar I ve borrowed before
Time and again and forgot to return
