And the children's eyes they turn
As I walk away
I am becoming their prey
And the firelight it burns in your eyes
There are times you despise me
Oh you criticize me
I have lost so many friends
I have gained so many memories
I can change the colors of the night
The hum and the drum they sound the same
When you're tapping the same vein
And I have noticed lately that the time that you took
To look at my face has gone without a trace
Oh you despise me
