Graham Parker - Bring Me a Heart Again lyrics

I don't feel comfortable Inside my own skin It doesn't keep things in I never get a kick from vodka or gin Bring me a heart again I got some courage And I got a brain Straw man though I may be But long ago I felt My empathy wane Bring me a heart again Though I had one once I must have lost it in the rain Pushin' up the roots While ivy grows around Your windowpane I walk the city streets for hours at night Searching for some new clue But I just hit dead ends It's always the same Bring me a heart again Though I had one once I must have lost it in the sun Where it melted fast And now it can't be found By anyone I got some courage And I got a brain Straw man though I may be But long ago I felt My empathy wane Bring me a heart again Bring me a heart again Bring me a heart again
