lyrics

I spent a desperate weekend
Following my nose
Looking for a trace of you
In a pile of my clothes
Trying to raise a sense of you
From the last remaining scents of you
In a molecule of oil
Vague and volatile
A few fading pheromones
And I was on my own
But I did not despair
‘Cause now
I smell you everywhere

I roam the town
A feckless hound
Reading the wind
Chasing after particles
That brushed against your skin
On a crowded avenue
I get a whiff of you
I inhale and I am on the trail
And all I want to do
Is chase it back to you
Back into thin air
‘Cause now I smell you everywhere

Implausible though it might be
It has occurred to me
This perfume might be coming from within
Though I have naught of you
The very thought of you
Is pouring through the pores of my skin
I do not speak of you
But I reek of you

Note that you have rendered me
A raving synesthete
Tripping down the median
Barking in the street
In the outline your hip I see
The outline of a melody
I taste you in the light
Taste you in the night
And, yes, I’m well aware
That you are never there
But I’m in too deep to care
’Cause now I smell you everywhere
