Lyrics for Bent Out Of Shape

All my life I've been bent out of shape Can't you see it's killing me Listen to the sound I make Listen to Buffy Saint Marie The words I sing but they never mean Anything I need them to Believing is a dreamer thing Believing is more than I know When the fire is far away It's ecstasy but it loses me I can see it's a fine place Yes, yes it's everywhere All my life I've been bent out of shape Course it comes as no surprise These are dreams that I never had See the lines arounds my eyes Allusions of illusions of a-losing you See the houses in-between Secret dreams of Melanie And Melanie knows who I mean When the fire is far away It's ecstasy but it loses me I can see it's a fine place Yes, yes it's everywhere When the fire is far away It's ecstasy but it loses me I can see it's a fine place Yes, yes it's everywhere
