I AM NOT SINGING THIS FOR YOU

(Hollywood - June 1999)

I am not singing this for you.
Don't foolishly search here for answers
I am the needle in a haystack
Maybe we'll find a common language

I'm hoping this era will pass
This televisual molasses
Which has left nothing here for us
Which has taken something from us

Spare silence is the only thing I trust;
What it takes it gives back to us
I've been deceitful for asking you here
I am not singing this for you to hear

I am not sure I'm ready yet
To step back out into this social Port-o-Let
Except my body's wearing out
I am not willing to fade out

I can not ask the Christ for this --
But in the same light -- live through this
And just like I used you for a kiss
I am not singing this for you

I am the hypocrite
Because in looking for the truth
We simply rearrange the living room
Then call the furnishings custom-made

I'm hoping this era will pass
This televisual molasses
Which has left nothing here for us
Which has taken so much from us

I am not sure I'm ready yet
Except my body's wearing out
I am not willing to fade out

I am not singing this for you
I am not singing this for you
I am not singing this for you
I am not singing this
