Past Lives Follow

Falling spikes follow me home.
Falling spikes pierce my shadow.
Shatter the sidewalk at my feet.
Through the ceiling while I sleep.
Everyone I knew split in two.
Falling spikes got me in distress.
Falling spikes make me so nervous.
I couldn't get a date last night because I couldn't take a step outside.
Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police.
When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes.
All the people that I meet they want to run away.

Violation! Violation!
Threw me in a quarantine, tossed in a magazine subscription.
The spikes keep falling in sheets--run for shelter, run for refuge.
Call the doctor, call the priest, call the weatherman, the police.
When I walk the streets at night I watch the falling spikes.
All the people that I meet they want to run away.
When the metal waves collide I want to turn off the tide,
My, oh, my! They put me away.
Why, oh, why? They put me away.

Falling spikes follow me home.
Falling spikes pierce my shadow.
Shatter the sidewalk at my feet.
