Slow Hamilton

He watches the moon
 He goes to bed
 With images in his brain
 A film to the apathy he lives
 Trivial points and names
 That I bet you think you know
 Claim that you've felt
 When the evenings were slow
 Turning slightly
 Slowly turn
 Really it is
 Endless cycles
 You burn
 They could be small
 And they could be good
 The breakthroughs he claims he makes
 They could be big
 And they could be bad
 Mistakes that he's already made
 That I bet you think you know
 Claim that you've felt
 When the evenings were slow
 Turning slightly
 Slowly turn
 Really it is
 Endless cycles
 You burn
 We're not here without you
 To know without you
 A life beyond slow Hamilton's scheduled day
 This time for getting out
 And maybe to testify
 But feel there's nothing one can do
 But name them
 Blame them
 They all got in it for you
 Show me around your lonely room
 Tipsy and comb my head
 I brought you a box of chips and wires
 Nothing is dreary there
 That I bet you think you know
 Claim that you've felt
 When the evenings were slow
 Turning slightly
 Slowly turn
 Really it is
 Endless cycles
 You burn
 We're here without you
 To know without you
 A life beyond slow Hamilton's scheduled day
 We're here without you
 To know without you
 A life beyond slow Hamilton's scheduled day
