Almost Agoraphobic Lyrics

I'm Almost Agoraphobic

I thought you ought to know

I'll read the entire menu

Before We Gotta Go

You see it's something tragic

I find it hard to breathe

When I'm standing in a subway car

And feel I'm being perceived

My body reverberating

Each motion a mighty wave

That breaks upon the strangers;

A crash across the plane.

What makes it so inciting

What makes it so deranged

Is I know I'm needing someone

But tell them "go away."

When no one's left around me

I hear the crowds a-hush;

The world does seem to blossom

Into something I can touch

The birds they do implore me

To walk along the steps

To whistle "I belong here"

And to say it with my chest

And when I say I'd say it proudly

The world will meet its match

And open into something

Finding safety in its mass

But the Earth is slowly turning

And with i,t ominensce

Come flashing cars and passing stars

I figure this and then I'm a mess

Oh, I'm rather undressed
