Tom Verlaine - FragileLyrics

I saw you coming in the headlights Rubbing your arms and shaking your head You say, "Oh, I just don't know, it's not so safe And it gets so tiresome playing dead." They've stolen your keys, they lifted your watch But you know too well, all too well What it's like to be caught Fragile - handle with care I've got to face what's never there Influences I think I am under They are so discouraging it seems to me They've stolen my secret longings for you Please, can't you tell me Is that the worst they can do? Fragile She said, "Oh no, I guess it is my fate To live a life; I can't communicate How painful, painful, but giving up is okay." I go for your check; I see your check has been paid
