Save me from myself
Save me from people who want to help me
Save me from my parents
Save me from my doctor
Save me from my children
Save me from my success
Save me from high ideals
Save me from my friends
Save me from the glorious future
Save me from good manners
Save me from bargains
Save me from holidays
Save me from happy endings
Save me from words that heal
Save me from the gift that keeps on giving
Save me from good intentions
Save me from perfect skin
Save me from good teeth
Save me from the real world
Save me from safety
I am floating in a bubble. I can see my house from here.
I am safe from all danger. No worries. No cavities.
I am free from all problems.
I am shinning and spinning.
I am twinkling and sparkling.
I am bursting with flavour.
I am out of reach.
I am timeless and eternal.
I am out of touch.
I am colourless, odourless and without taste.
I am impossible to define.
I am bliss incarnate.
Save me from myself..

David Byrne, Save me
