This was probably my very first song with a traditional verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse arrangement, and it happened completely by accident; at the time I didn't really pay attention what differentiated a verse from a chorus. But my adopted boy genius was egging me on, so I kept with it until the words finally presented themselves. Along the Vergiftung time-line, this is about when the mad-in-intensity Sharp/Whittemore line-up became the mad-about-melody Whittemore/Branam line-up. Basically, this is where we stopped being chaos, whether that be good or whether that be bad.

There are 5 melodies fighting it out during the chorus.

Oh yeah, lyrics.... as Pat Fish would say: "Whaddya want, a diagram?"

Her hair went from blonde to brown, My eyes from brown to green. In a downpour I was taken, By the bluest eyes I'd ever seen. I know that wanting love is simply not enough, But living lost in her eyes is where I'm caught. Coz we went spinning, I was taken, Drawn by her gravity Well I never thought After all the love and talks That I'd never That I'd never That I'd never see her again What had happened happens over and over: This selfish notion to share love with another Always ends in carpet-eating misery Its a mystery. Why she said that I could not talk, I say she did not care. Well I never thought After all the PAIN and talks That I'd never That I'd never That I'd never see her again Won't you tell her that I need her love tonight Won't you tell me where my love has gone tonight Won't you tell her that I need her love tonight I only ever tried to please her Now she's under anesthesia Still..
