I'm up at dawn clawing at the walls calling your name
I scratch until I bleed, till the echo of my plea is tamed
And I call upon your greed, I call upon your needs
Like a foolish woman
'Cause I’m a poet, I observe and I grasp upon a need to feel

I'm up and off the wall for you, crazy
Writing songs for you
I'm up and off the wall for you, crazy
'Cause I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know you

I'm brittle, I am bleak, I am tearing at my seams
And I've lost my brain
You are the winner of this play, I have folded, I am lame
But I'm no child, I'm not naive
I know what it is you want from me
It is the thrill of the chase and the dance of the girl
So I twist and I dance and I twirl

Up and off the wall for you, I'm crazy
Writing songs for you
I'm up and off the wall for you, crazy
When I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know you
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know you
