Here I am, a sort of prisoner, my body is the cell
And, perhaps you are the cell key
I have all day long to sit here and all day is a long time
But my legs don't want to move me now

Please, all I ask is that you come around
Please, all I ask is that you come around
Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me

The game shows in the mornings do their best to entertain
And the news does it's to worry me, I don't know why I watch it
But I like the way the TV fills the room with human voice
And sometimes it is amusing, sometimes

Please, all I ask is that you come around
Please, all I ask is that you come around
Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me, see me

Please, all I ask is that you come around
Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me
Why don't you come around?
Why don't you come around?

In the middle of the afternoon
I'm sure it's much too quiet
Then again, maybe there is noise
And I just can't hear it

Please, all I ask is that you come around
Please, all I ask is that you
Please, all I ask is that you come around and see me, see me

Please, just half an hour inside the twenty-four
Please, just one half an hour
Please, all I ask is that you come around
Why don't you come around and see me?
Come around and see me

Do you think I won't know you?
Well, I'm not senile yet
You talk about putting people in small boxes
You know how that is

Do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you?

Oh, when you're my age, you're in my place
You'll understand, understand, understand, I know you will
