You look like someone I used to know
I said to myself while shaving
Where did all of the certainty go
Is it still back there with the roaring and the raving
Amazing the places you find yourself in
When you’re thinking that you’ve really got ’em
Amazing what passes for love and for friends
If your standards are close enough to the bottom
Time to come out of the rain
Caught between the itch and the pain
I woke up naked in an uptown park
Never even learned her name
We must have met somewhere out in the dark
I felt so bad I knew she felt the same
I know she was thinking of me for a week
It hurts even to describe it
Cuz the place we chose fulfillment to seek
Was a bed of poison ivy
Time to come out of the rain
Caught between the itch and the pain
So many days lived in vain
Caught between the itch and the pain
When I think of myself in my full raging youth
In my breath I feel the same old catching
Once I knew everything. I had a corner on the truth
Now I just feel like scratching
