I could paint you in the dark Cause I've studied you with hunger Like a work of art And these are very secret days I collect my information Then I stowe it all away Call me When you breeze through To your appointments The work you do Call me I'm collecting you The pleading prayer and hairshirt sting My hair-trigger love and faulty spring Motivation smokes a name I don't like that smile applied to me So blindly just the same Call me When you breeze through To your appointments The work you do Call me I'm collecting you Turning up my collar (turning up my collar) To an unseasonal chill You ask a favor You know I will And the rain comes a surprise We fly across the railroad ties I feel the danger The foolish thrill Oh yes I will What it will or won't be then The shutter pre development of the of the ink full in the pen Mind the minds eye's trickery Cause you might picture killer beautiful Much more than it might be Call me Tell me What you're up to What you'll do Call me I'm collecting you I would be foolish To think that I Could turn it off And stay alive The way I live When you switch on Hand on the dimmer (my hands you) Give me just a glimmer (in the glimmer) Give me just a shadow (just a shadow) Of hope around the edges Agony and rapture Forever uncaptured Take these secrets to your grave Drug across your landscape And buried in your cave (your piling up) Your piling up and out of sight (out of sight) Every try to add it up just feels like counting shades of light Call me yeah Tell me What you're up to What you do Call me I'm collecting you Hang it in my window Let it complicate my view The separation The glass of you But I can paint this picture Any way that I see fit The art of pain The subject sits Unmoved
