Don Conoscenti

beth is young in years and her mind's on fire
her boyfriend's got a short fuse
he's a thief and a liar
she doesn't even love him, but she gives herself up
every time he calls. why does she do that?
she doesn't even know...she doesn't even know

sara leads a sophisticated style of life
she's moving faster than the speed of light
she craves the stimulation
every time it calls she takes another dose
she can't feel herself falling. she doesn't even know

jimmy's twisted like a dying tree
stretched out toward the sun
branches reaching, desperately
but they could never get enough
screams at the world when his anger fills him up
every time it calls he takes another dose
he can't see himself falling.
he doesn't even know
