Harmless

There's a crab apple tree That's been flourishing freely On the side of the train tracks down by me There's a crab apple tree That's been flourishing freely On the side of the train tracks down by me And it made me angry With no fury A sight for sore eyes to see God, have you got any smiting left for me? 'Cause I'm feeling left out Like a drunken thug who missed a clouting in a fight Everybody's asking, "Where's the black eye?" Oh, ay, ay, ay, ay And I'm faithfully alone again Left alone in this big old bed Trashing about like a toothless shark in cotton waves And I'm faithfully alone again Left alone in this big old bed Trashing about like a toothless shark in cotton waves Like a wicked child left to fend in the wilderness But I was taken in by the wolves Taught me how to howl at the moon It doesn't take me long to forget about you When I'm well known for being aloof Oh, if I was cursed, then I guess that we were cursed too Someday I'll get to be disgustingly happy And I'll stop searching for something Someday I'll get to be disgustingly happy And I'll stop searching for something to fight me Oh, I'm harmless I'm calm less I'm harmless
