general info lyrics

Title: Frail and Bedazzled
Also known as:
Released: 1994
Running Time: 3:17 Say
Now listen here
I wanna be
Oh so clear
I lost my soul
Lost I'll stay
Between your hands
And my beliefs
And here I am
Frail
Frail and bedazzled from all the glare
Tug
At my sleeve
My little girl
Signalling
She don't know
That I have
Stole my smile
From a Cheshire Cat
And all I wanted
Was to be a man
Since I gave up
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
Two of us
That's dangerous
It's all inside our heads
Givin' in for nothin' less
Leavin' me for him
Try to understand
The ones I love
And their demands
It's so unfair
When they can't see
That I'm the boy
Who really needs
Their love
I suppose
Frail and bedazzled from all the
Frail and bedazzled from all the
Frail and bedazzled from all the glare

band comments

"written for the monolith in '92 -- we just never got around to investing the proper time into this lullabye. we recorded this in about 1 hour, and i wished we had spent more time, but.. another message from the me vs. rcok file. wrote these lyrics in the parking garage where i used to live/rehearse. it was very cold in there - but quiet. you could hear the squeaking tires at night, sounded like ghosts or something, but i wrote this message from me to me to you. infinite lost and word sea."
"frail and bedazzled owes a great debt to the band skunk, with whom i ripped part of this song off. skunk was probably the greatest band that i ever knew/saw that is virtually unknown-even less than the frogs. frogs. skunk. i miss skunk."

- Billy, Pisces Iscariot liner notes
