I [Oh, I]

Pleasurable grin breaks your face as
I offer a clammy hand
The night we so cherished for days
Has become a foreign land
Where is the manhood I dreamed of
For years and years again
A drought-ridden feeling tailored for
Those royal men

I, oh oh I (oh I) , I have seen the
Bitter change of things (I, oh oh I)
I, oh oh I (oh I) , know how you feel

Cobblestone thoughts sink their teeth into
My state of mind eclectic as they shift and
Plot our own demise down with the ship as
It sinks with summertime
Eighteen years, eighteen years

I, oh oh I (oh I) , I have seen the
Bitter change of things (I, oh oh I)
I, oh oh I (oh I) , know how you feel
I, oh oh I
I have seen the bitter change of things
I, oh oh I have seen what you've become

The saintly boys and girls we throw at them
Our cleavered words and rules to no avail
A sun-kissed moon is weak with
Gravity we all know
But still the books of men we
Pound into our lips, our ears, our skin
To cherish fates deprived of them, at times
Their death is placed with gold

I, oh oh I (oh I) , I have seen the
Bitter change of things (I, oh oh I)
I, oh oh I (oh I) , know how you feel
