This song was one of the hardest to record. It comes at you constantly. No breaks... the rhythm is punishing, and it's amazing that Kris could write lyrics to this song. Very rock-jazzy a good example of the no speed limit kind of music Fractal Rock is willing to write. DaveT characterized this song as Joel's torture mechanism for the rest of the band. "V" a local violinist came in and tore up the verses with the guitarist and laid down a killer solo.
Lyrics
I can't see how you can
expect me to give
so much to you
You have me all twisted
in so many ways
you say that I fail you
when you have me dazed...
I can't see how you can
expect miracles
it's impossible
I can't split in two
You're crazy to think that
I'm subject to you
There's no reason for me to stay
take this thing you call love away
Poison seeping into my veins
your religion has caused me to stain
Why can't you see that
your wicked ways are
holding you down from your throne
selfish and spiteful
there is no rival
You're one of a kind on your own
how is it you think
you are so special
that you can't do anything wrong
I can't believe you
you're two faced and tired
your ego's gone on for too long
stretching and bending
twisting and turning
Your brain has turned to sand
lying and cheating
you are just like a
wicked rubber band
I can't see how you can
get on with your life
you are confused
selfish and spiteful
there is no rival
You're one of a kind on your own
how is it you think
you are so special
that you can't do anything wrong
I can't believe you
you're two faced and tired
your ego' gone on for too long
stretching and bending
twisting and turning
You've turned my brain into sand
lying and cheating
you have turned into
a wicked rubber band
Why can't you see
your own imperfections
why can't you see it?
why can't you see it?!?
why can't you see it
your own imperfections
Instrumental break
I can't see how you can
expect to blow off
so much of your life
You are so twisted
in so many ways
Why can't you see
your own imperfections
why can't you see it
You are neurotic, you are so blinded, by your imperfections
you're an infection, why can't you see?!?
