lyrics

I grew up in this cold square
hid my cigarettes among these walls
when their cost was half as much

carved in bricks a hundred women's names
memory keeps just few of them
the ones I kissed
perhaps not even that

'cause none of them ever asked where I was headed
digging for happiness
oh, never mind.

And I grew up on a cold peak
notched my secrets into the stone

carved in ice a hundred naive snowmen
memory sees them melt away
frightened to death
by nonexistence and neglect

and none of them will ever wonder if I was happy
or if I'll ever be
oh, never mind.
