lyrics

it got between me and my pencil
it got between me and my book
it lives between two of the pages
and if you just know where to look

the shadow of my own future
it darkens the very page
it got between me and the next word
now what was i going to say

it got between me and the bedpost
just between you me and the wall
it got between me and the keyhole
and you would not believe what i saw

it lives between two of the pages
the author deep inside of the book
a brand new life and new thoughts too
the very moment i looked

xxx

but in the end that's the way that it goes
wouldn't you know that i didn't know why
do you remember killing a fly
but where did the fly go after it died

not me the bee and not i said the fly
funeral rites for the rats and the mice
frankenstein reading in the next room
he had a brand new life and brand new thoughts too
