Born Again Virgin - No Alibi

I'm a wandering child
In a department store
Between the aisles
Shelves snake like a maze
Stomach bubbling

I'm a fish in a pool
Of piss and self-pity
The algae floats to the top
As if stagnancy could be pretty

I'm an actor in a roll I no longer
Know how to play
I'm a catholic, guilt ridden
With no God or faith
I'm a child begging my mom
Won't you please lift me
So I can see where the light begins
Is it the moon or just the beams
Of headlights passing
Leaving as quickly as
They're seen

So if you don't say hello
I understand why
I say I work for you but sleep all day
And I never look you
In the eye
I wake up disappointed
Hating myself
So I understand
If you just walk past me
I understand
If you've already tried
I understand
If you just can't help me

Because I
I
I've got no alibi
