Come for me
        Tease me
        Rescue me
        From myself;

Listen to the action
Forget about the words
Look into those eyes
You might recognise
One lost child
One hidden human
Somewhere beneath their skin
Of coloured pale
And frightened

Hasta mañana
Garibaldi
Au revoir
C’est ça
Ça va
Can you believe
The Freigeist
Tripped between those earlobes?

        Come for me
        Tease me
        Rescue me
        From myself;

Peter used to yell at me
You!
Fetch me a bishop
Might wish I had
But not everyone is mad
There are some foxes around
One of them is called Tim
The young against the old
Until the young are old
And have forgotten

        Come for me
        Tease me
        Rescue me
        From myself.
