Somebody said

Somebody said they saw you in town
You were looking half dead in your stolen crown
This could be a rumour
But as a rule my friends don't lie
I should've called you sooner
But I still remember why

I lost touch with you
I lost all my sense of time
I lost touch with you
And I just can't clear my head
Since somebody said...

You're renting a room
In such a gloomy house
And you steer clear of drugs these days ?
Well I have my doubts
You always used to tell me
Almost everything
You'd steel honey from the hive
And you'd wear the stings
