I SAID IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU 

ALL THE LIGHTS ARE DIMMING AND THE ROOM IT IS SPINNING AND I CAN'T SEE. 

I RECALL A GLIMPSE AND IT'S BEYOND MY GRASP OF REALITY. 

I SHUDDER WHEN I THINK OF WHAT YOU SAID. 

I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP, BUT IT SEEMS, 

THAT I CAN'T GET NO REST. 

REALITY CLAIMED ME AND THE PAIN THAT IT BROUGHT ME - 

WAS TOO MUCH TO BARE. 

BEING BEATEN AND BATTERED, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER 

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT THERE. 

I'VE BEEN RUNNING IN CIRCLES.  I'M LOST IN THE DARK. 

AND IT DON'T MAKE SENSE TO ME - 'COS I COULD NEVER BE - 

ANYWHERE THAT YOU AREN'T. 

UPPER'S AND DOWNERS AND OBSCENE PRETENDERS 

WITH THEIR PAPERS AND BAGS. 

RING ON THE PHONE, BUT THERE'S NOBODY HOME - 

AND THAT'S SUCH A DRAG. 

WELL, I'VE BEEN LOOKING UP NUMBERS - I'VE BEEN PLAYING IT STRAIGHT. 

AND GOD ONLY KNOWS THAT YOUR INDISPOSED AND WON'T COMMUNICATE. 

I'M TAKING THE HEAT.  I'M OUT ON THE STREET WITHOUT A CLUE. 

THE REALITY IS.  IT ISN'T ME.  IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU. 

I SAID IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU.
