Arrest the boy
Warm between the eyes
As he jackknifes into winter

Stung like a cutthroat trout in the cathedral heat
Sick as a dog, shaking like a leaf
You have to look close to see what this disease has done to me

Arrest the boy
The hayseed with the song in his heart
As he writhes through the winter

Stung like a cutthroat trout in the cathedral heat
Sick as a dog, shaking like a leaf
You have to look close to see what this disease has done to me

You go whole hog when you like someone
I go ape%#@! when you forget me
Well, I forget what it's like to be kissing in the middle of a terrible dream

I forget what it's like to be kissing in the middle of a terrible storm
What a terrible thing
To be kissing the middle of you
