Hominid Zoo - why Lyrics

I've travelled so many miles
With nothing to smile about Clarissa
So many broken dreams
It's no wonder our wings just won't fly

I'm wonderin' now if I had told you
About a lot of things I don't know, but mostly why?

It's your touch that I miss, that sent me amiss
I remember--
That look in your eyes,
Behind some disguise, I can't tell why you fell.

I wishin' right now that they hadn't, jailed you
From some great mountaintop we fell. Why, Clarissa?

Why--must I chase those dreams again?
Why--what am I lookin' for in a friend?

So many days with no way to hang with each other
You look thru the bars. Out my window there's stars
And here come those fears. Why oh why?

I'm wishin' tonight what I could've told you
A thought for everything for every year. But why?

Why, Clarissa?
Clarissa, Why?
Why Clarissa
