Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed I had a dream That trouble always starts in someone's head and dreams are real When you're asleep you may as well be dead I predicate The last 10 years on figuring with me After the war In some strange city on a strangers So you think I'd waste my life on this To be your comfort when you needed me Lay the everlasting friendship Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed We had a time If we could have it back over again I'd be a force Not so polite and not so delicate I'd trot around On velvet socks so I could not be felt I was your fan Waiting for the day when this God will start to Talk to me, don't venerate me now I'm not [?] See my own big smile, my sweet skin Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed If I carry you in my heart Will you ease the pain or make it harder I know you like to let me know you're there If [?] disappear Is there space in my life for you Will I see you tomorrow Or will I ride on Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed I could never live up (Crush) (Crush) (Crush) (Crush)
