Alpha Double Negative: Going to Catalina (Songs for Petronius, 1992)
I hear you starting up again
I see you standing on the deck
I hear your voice start to carry
I see the veins throbbing in your neck
And I know what you're saying
And I know what you're saying it for
But I'm not listening
I'm not listening anymore
And I see you come toward me
I see the sun climb down the sky
I hear your voice getting faster and louder
I see a stranger in your eyes
And I know what you're saying
And I know what you're saying it for
But I'm not listening
I'm not listening anymore
