Lyrics for The Neutral
He's not a dreamer or a schemer, Running away from me He's not a singer, an entertainer With no follow through He's not a poet or a mystic With his cigarette unglued He's just neutral, yeah he's weary Not even brand new It's a perfect sin Close your eyes and lose the rest It's a perfect sin Close your mind and feel the best Everyone has a headache Imprecise, hard to cure Got to shake it, what ails you The lines are a blur Is it a pain in your heart Dark and gray from the start You won't seduce me, or attract me Just 'cause you're a stray It's a perfect sin Close your eyes and lose the rest It's a perfect sin Close your mind and feel the best Why won't you tell me what's inside your head Why won't you show me your secret bed, secret bed? He's not a dreamer or a schemer Running away from you He's not a singer, an entertainer With no follow through He's not a poet or a mystic With his cigarette unglued He's not a cowboy or a loner with nothing to do He is neutral yeah he's weary, Not even brand new He is neutral, yeah he's weary And he's so in love with you
