looking too closely





.

This is a song about somebody else
So don't worry yourself, worry yourself
The devil's right there right there in the details
And you don't wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
Oh, no, no, no!

Put your arms around somebody else
Don't punish yourself, punish yourself
Truth is like blood underneath your fingernails
And you don't wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Looking too closely
Looking too closely
Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

You don't wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
You don't wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself
Oh, no, no, no!
And I could be wrong about anybody else

So don't kid yourself, kid yourself
It's you…


—Fin Greenall


...


In my room, the world is beyond my understanding;

But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four
hills and a cloud.


—Wallace Stevens
Of the Surface of Things, excerpt
