DISCOGRAPHY - "BASIC GLEE" - LYRICS

Pauline
R. X. Heyman

It seems like an old familiar scene
One desperate man in the machine
While straddling cogs and torn apart
I'm lost and dumbfounded from the start

And then in a momentary flash
When it all comes back so fast
I know all there is to do
Is remind myself of you

I'm taking the time to get it right
Nobody expected overnight
But now almost half a lifetime gone
I see what was missing all along

And words like "if you were here with me"
Let me know convincingly
So that all I need to do
Is remind myself of you

Pauline, I call on you again
Pauline, you pulled me through once more, and then
I know all there is to do
Is remind myself of you

I'm ground to a halt in the routine
Like character actors on the screen
I float through the motions mindlessly
I'm dragged by these currents I can't see

And then in a momentary flash
When it all comes back so fast
So that all there is to do
Is remind myself of you

Pauline, you come to me again
Pauline, you pulled me through once more, and then
I know all there is to do
Is remind myself of you

And words like "if you were here with me"
Let me know convincingly
So that all there is to do
Is remind myself of you

Pauline, I call on you again
Pauline, you pulled me through once more, and then

Pauline, you come to again
Pauline, you pulled me through once more, my friend
Pauline, I call on you again
Pauline, you pulled me through once more, and then
I know all there is to do
Is remind myself of you
