anderson ian - lost in crowds lyrics
i get lost in crowds: if i can, i remain invisible
to the hungry mouths. i stay unapproachable.
i wear the landscape of the urban chameleon.
scarred by attention. and quietly addicted to innocence.
at starry parties where, amongst the rich and the famous
i’m stuck for words: or worse, i blether with the best of them.
i see their eyes glaze and they look for the drinks tray.
something in the drift of my conversation bothers them.
so, who am i? come on: ask me, i dare you.
so, who am i? come on: question me, if you care to.
and why not try to interrogate this apparition?
i melt away to get lost in this quaint condition.
in scary airports, in concourses over-filled,
i am detached in serious observation.
as a p-ssenger, i become un-tethered when
i get lost in clouds: at home with my own quiet company.
herald tribune or usa today. sauvignon blanc or oaky chardonnay.
asleep for the movie. awake for the dawn
dancing on england and hedgerows –
embossed on a carpet of green. i descend and –
forgive me – i mean to get lost in crowds.
