Leper Colony - The Legendary Pink Dots

Does my eye offend you?

Should I roll it down the hill…

Should I wear an iron mask or warn you with a bell?

In quarantine, I stay unseen — I still know how to feel

And though you never touch me, I am sure nothing ever touches you

You’ve no need to defend your actions I can understand

My mirror wept «surrender», so I threw in both my hands

Before I just conceded I can’t figure in your plans

Though I’ll never touch you, you’ll be sure nothing ever touches me

I shrivel when the sun comes out, I cry beneath the moon

You’ll find me in a long lost alley, hiding in my «room»

But don’t you dare come near me cos I don’t know what I’ll do…

If someone ever touched me, maybe I could just consider touching you…
