Waiting Like Mad

by Ben Watt

on North Marine Drive (1983)

You pulled a face as the train pulls away
My heart's running on
But my feet seem to stay

The nights closing in but I don't want to sleep
My heart's running on and my love's running deep

And there's nothing to see and I'm turning away
But the train's still in view so I'm turning to stay
Forcing a smile in that lonely place
And cursing because I left my cigarettes in your case

Blood's running thick
And my blood's running free
But no one gives a damn because there's no wound to see

I'm hurting inside
And I'm hurting the world
My temper's quick, I feel so sick
Because I've lost the [?], my fingers curl around

It's stupid because I know my anger's wrong
And It's stupid because I know you won't be long
But still I miss you more than everything else
I s'pose more than anything I'm angry with myself

[Sax Solo]

Blood's running thick
And my blood's running free
But no one gives a damn because there's no wound to see

I'm hurting inside
And I'm hurting the world
My temper's quick, I feel so sick
Because I've lost the [?], my fingers curl around

It's stupid because I know my anger's wrong
And It's stupid because I know you won't be long
But still I miss you more than everything else
I s'pose more than anything I'm angry with myself
