Frightened Just Because of You

Ash, ash what were you once
Can greying dust tell lively stories?

Shall your future turn to stone
Or will your beauty be alone?

Laden with the curse of taste
I cannot help but laugh and laugh,

Bigger men with taller stories
Why have heroes when you want their glories?

Someone spoke I couldn't move--
I'm frightened just because of you.

Some one spoke I couldn't move--
I'm frightened just because of you.

Oh no, I know that face
You make my feet like lumps of lead.

The nearer you come the slower I get,
You act like the ocean
but you only get wet.

Peace, peace don't open your mouth--
You'll only begin what you already started.

The only stand is the one you don't make
And no one opposes the things you can't take.

Lyrics and music of Frightened Just Because of You by Marty Willson-Piper from his album _Art Attack_, 1988 RYKODISC.
