I get lost, I get lost, I get lost in crowds, if I can, I remain invisible
                                               
to the hungry mouths. I stay, I stay unapproachable.
                                                       
I wear the landscape of the urban, of the urban chameleon.
                              
Scarred by attention and quietly addicted to innocence.

At starry, at starry, at starry parties, where amongst the rich and the famous
                                                         
I'm stuck for words, or worse, I blether with the best of them.
                                                                   
I see their eyes glaze and they look, and the look for the drinks tray.
                                     
Something in the drift of my conversation       bothers them.


 
           
So, who am I?
                            
Come on: ask me, I dare you.
           
So, who am I?
                                      
Come on: question me, if you care to.
                                               
And why not try to interrogate this apparition?
                                 
I melt away to get lost in this quaint condition.

In scary in scary in scary airports, in concourses over-filled,
                                
I am detached in serious observation.
                                               
As a passenger, I become I become un-tethered when
                                  
I get lost in clouds: at home with my own quiet company.

I get lost, I get lost, I get lost in crowds, if I can, I remain invisible
                                               
to the hungry mouths. I stay, I stay unapproachable.
                                                       
I wear the landscape of the urban, of the urban chameleon.
                              
Scarred by attention and quietly addicted to innocence.

Asleep for the movie.
              
Awake for the dawn
                           
Dancing on England and hedgerows
                          
embossed on a carpet of green.
                  
I descend and forgive me
                   
I mean to get lost in crowds.
