Almost David
How Did I Get Here?
There were flowers in the attic
And lace upon our screens
There was Thatcher, Collins and Greer
But how did I get here?
I remember your gate folded sleeves
And your summer night cities
And your pipers and thieves
But please now listen
I’ll try to say what I mean
They were poison arrows
And the twin tub machines
Chorus
How did I get here?
Time left me
It seems so near
How did I get here?
How did I get here?
Where did I go?
Please tell me
How did I get here?
You dared me
Into hysteria (but I kept feeling fascination)
And all that human racing
Well it left me inferior (next to the dancing girls)
We sang a new song
And screamed at Suspira (rewind before return)
Like a subway army with
An ashen exterior
