"Kathleen" lyrics

I could swear for a minute
You could see right through me
And you were reading to me like you always did
And your name was Kathleen

Why do I let people be bad to me?
Ignore reality
She said don't take things too personally
And her name was Kathleen

Tread, tread gently
'Cause you'll be bound to cry
So stay in your corner
And I'll stay here in mine

Just go, be slow and you'll figure it out
Head low, you'll know how to turn it around
You'll sleep with lovers
Sleep on sofas
Sleep with others again

Just go, be slow and you'll figure it out
Head low, you'll know how to turn it around
You'll sleep with lovers
Sleep on sofas
Sleep with others again

As you reign from your tower
And your throne's a single bed
But you'll never know what you mean to me
So I'm gonna do you proud instead

Tread, tread gently
'Cause you'll be bound to cry
So stay in your corner
And I'll stay here in mine

Just go, be slow and you'll figure it out
Head low, you'll know how to turn it around
You'll sleep with lovers
Sleep on sofas
Sleep with others again

Just go, be slow and you'll figure it out
Head low, you'll know how to turn it around
You'll sleep with lovers
Sleep on sofas
Sleep with others again

Just go, be slow and you'll figure it out
Head low, you'll know how to turn it around
You'll sleep with lovers
Sleep on sofas
Sleep with others again

Just go, be slow and you'll figure it out
Head low, you'll know how to turn it around
You'll sleep with lovers
Sleep on sofas
Sleep with others again

All of you is under all my skin
And I wear you on my sleeve
And you'll be reading to me like you always did
And your name is Kathleen

"And I just saw this relaxation tape in this college library. And I think they made me a copy of it but I lovedly handed it back 'cause I thought it would help somebody else, but the copy's in development..."
