first check-out in the afternoon,
just a minute and I did it in time.
first get off then get out of here,
though I’m desperate everything’s fine.
it flashbacks me in a second slam
with the cookies falling out of my hands.
short cracks — here comes the memory
and a hundred will ovate while they stand.
it’s here again,
here again,
here again inside of me…
here again,
here again in my cold blue world…
and this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me…
first check out in the afternoon,
just a minute and I did it in time.
first get off then get out of here.
though I’m desperate, everything’s fine.
quick, much quicker, than all the rest.
I’m a victim of what they call the past.
close, much closer, than you confess.
I’m the victim of your sorrows at last.
it’s here again,
here again,
here again inside of me…
here again,
here again inside of me…
and this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
this is stronger than me,
stronger than me…
