A Song of the Only Child Lyrics by Chris Knox

Croaker

1991

[Verse 1]
Painting in lies
Changing the color of your eyes
Pouting your lips
Shifting the angle of your hips
[Verse 2]
Loving the lies
Loving the fiction of your thighs
Creating a need
Into which I may spill my seed
[Chorus]
As I caress myself with loving care
I know that you're no longer there
You've died, somewhere inside
[Verse 3]
But when you're real
Nothing can quite replace the feel
When you are near
All my amendments disappear
[Chorus]
As I caress myself with loving care
I know that you're no longer there
You've died, somewhere inside
(Whistle)
[Verse 3]
I can still go
To a place only I may go
Locked behind doors
I have got mine and you've got yours
[Chorus]
As I caress myself with loving care
I know that you're no longer there
You've died, somewhere inside
[Refrain]
I have a friend
Someone on whom I can depend
