Untogether

(album: Star - 1993)

[*throat clearing*]
"Ow"

I was friendly with this girl
Who insisted on touching my face
She told outrageous stories
I believed them
Till the endings were changing from endings before
She's not touching me anymore

Untogether
I couldn't help her
I got hard
You can try your life
You can't save the unsavable untogether

I was shipwrecked with this frog
Who was endlessly testing my faith
He made out outrageous demands
I ignored him
Till I strapped on my boat feet and
Surfed into shore
He's not touching me anymore

Untogether
I couldn't help him
I got hard
You can try your life
You can't change the unchangable untogether

Now the birdnest on my back keeps me turning and straining to see
We threw outrageous parties
We were golden
Now the bird keeps her distance
And I keep my space
Sometimes there's no poison like a dream

Untogether
I couldn't help her
It got hard
You can dry your eyes
You can't hold the unpossible untogether
