The Collector

歌詞

(Unreleased, from a demo reel dated Dec. 14, 1983.) (I, I, I, I) I take the things from their leather cases And I arrange them in their special places I collected people like you might collect flowers But they only lived for a couple of hours A famous flicker in these flames And hear the waiting and played their games Only a mad dog would turn on the world Only a mad dog would turn on the world I watched the morning in the evening I saw the clouds as they were leaving Collected people as you might collect stamps Princes, killers, heroes, tramps The lonely locked here in this room With scant regard and no perfume Only a mad dog would turn on the world Only a mad dog would turn on the world (left for you) I have performed to find the ?? ?
