Stephin Merritt - When I'm Not Looking, You're Not There lyrics

When I was young I saw a square A hole where something should be there. I knew all this was just a cage This knowledge has not changed with age I knew then and I know it still I'm being held against my will Inside this stupid hologram So I won't find out who I am. I really just pretend to care. When I'm not looking, you're not there. And you and your disgusting lies Like gravity and compromise / and flesh and life and love and time, That's your opinion it's not mine. I live among the robots now But I'll find my way out somehow So save your big reality For when you're so called touching me. You're only colors in thin air. When I'm not looking you're not there.
