Pat Noon - Our New Intelligence lyrics

Stolen Aphrodite, beautiful and mighty Act like you can find me tucked beneath a vine leaf Try to keep my head down Try to keep my mouth shut You do not exist; you are a product of my loneliness Never let you in, I'll never let you find me Butcher what you do have Put your past behind me I am not afraid and will not buckle under ignorance And you could find a purpose While I fumbled for deliverance I'm happy but I wouldn't Put it past our new intelligence So we swam to the bottom of the sea Found faith and a little bit of sanity Oh some peace and quiet may be what I need It'll be a lot better if you're honest with me The way I think that I should get away sometimes the Way I wish that you would try and compromise Cause I'm sick of saying where I don't belong If you just don't talk than you can't be wrong So you sit there smug with the stereo on Typing, yes, yes, never to your favorite song The way I think that I should get away sometimes the Way I wish that you would try and compromise Oh you can't find love where you thought you would Every single lead you had is turning up no good I can change my mind if you think you could I would move my belongings if you thought I should And every single time I think I'll keep my cool I catch my other body making eyes at you And instincts are deceiving, do you trust me to run away? Run away? Run away Because you were never anything I thought I'd want I've been trying for a while and this thing I got Left me rambling and stumbling over what I say And I say, and I say, and I say Run away, run away, run away Stolen Aphrodite, beautiful and mighty Act like you can find me tucked beneath a vine leaf This was never anything I wanted you to suffer for Despite how much I love my home I find I'm missing Baltimore Tied and gagged and bound to soil I will taste forever more
