** Lyrics **
We speak in the store, I'm a sensitive bore
You seem markedly more and I'm oozing surprise
But it's late in the day and you're well on your way
What was golden went gray and I'm suddenly shy
And the gathering floozies afford to be choosy
And all sneezing darkly in the dimming divide
And I have read the right book to interpret your looks
But you were knocking me down with the palm of your eye
This is unlike the story, it was written to be
I was riding its back when it used to ride me
And we were galloping manic to the mouth of the source
And we were swallowing panic in the face of its force
And I was blue
I was blue and unwell
Made me bolt like a horse
And now it's done
Watch it go, now
You've changed so
Water runs from the snow
Am I so dear?
Do I run rare?
You've changed so
Peach, plum, pear
Peach, plum
