From the recording Follow The Gaslight
A song about unwanted attention, unwanted thoughts and the feeling of being watched even from within.
Lyrics
All the lights
In the world
Seem to turn on
When I just
Want to be alone
Is it some kind of law
Or a cosmic joke,
That I am the target of
Everything
That I do
Is of somebody’s interest
In the morning, the evening
And even the nights
I am ridden
By the unbidden
All the lights
In the world
Seem to turn away
When I finally
Have something to say
Is it some kind of law
Or a cosmic joke,
That I am the target of
None of my thoughts
Seem to spark anyone’s interest
In the morning, the evening
And even the nights
I am ridden
I’m the unbidden
I’m beginning to wonder
Is it all in my head
How else can I
Be as easily misled
I’m starting to worry
It’s all in my mind
And what you in there
Are going to find
All the lights
In the world
Are just the same
If I cannot find
My own glow,
My inner flame
