lyrics

I was somewhere in Athens with an ache in my bones,
Gnawing on a moonstone cabochon.
I was staring at a painting of a red tree on a white beach
when the truths of the new world revealed themselves to me.

And in an instant, I am the shadow of a boxer,
throwing absent punches at foes which are just not there,
splitting energy through the air,

When I realized you lied to me.
You lied to me twice.

I was somewhere lost in Florence with the inklings of you in my mind,
gnawing on a pendant cut from alexandrite.
I was passing a street band playing violins
when the new world was revealed to me again.

And the next moment, I am the light breaking around a boxer,
dancing in convivial pirouettes,
drifting through the radiant display.

When I realized you lied to me and I realized
you aren't very kind to me.
