Don't Be Seen with Me - Oppenheimer Analysis

I was cold and lonely

And I took you in just trying to be kind

Tired of lifelong solitude

My senses undermined

I’ve kept things under strict control

Resisted all diversion

Endless years of false rewards

Lie wrecked in this subversion

I’ve got games to play

I’ve got places to go

I want to surrender

I want you to go

If I were you

I’d be out on the town

Oh why, oh why

Are you hanging around?

A fool like me

Don’t be seen with me

A fool like me

Don’t be seen with me

Order and duty thrown to the winds

I’ve lost all sense of reason

In the heat of the day, I’m a stowaway

On a sinking ship of treason

I’ve too much to do, I can’t stop now

Distraction brings me down

Drag me deeper into murky waters

Smile and watch me drown

Fresh from the cradle and you’re a passion lethal

Innocence smiles down nasty evils who are a fool like me

Don’t be seen with me

I’ve got games to play

I’ve got places to go

I want to surrender

I want you to go

If I were you

I’d be out on the town

Oh why, oh why

Are you hanging around?

A fool like me

Don’t be seen with me

A fool like me

Don’t be seen with me
