If you gave me a carnation I would only crush it's tender petals With me you'll have no escape And at the same time there'll nowhere to settle I trample down all life in my wake I eat it up and take the cake I just avert my eyes to the Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave a dream for my pocket You'd be plugging in the wrong socket With me there's no room for the future With me no room with a view at all
I am out of season all around Hear machinery roar to my sound Touch my heart and feel winter Hold my hand and be doomed forever
If you gave me a fresh carnation I would only crush tender petals With me you'll have no escape And at the same there'll be nowhere to settle And if you're wondering by now who I am Look no further than the mirror Cause I the greed and fear And every ounce of hate in you
