Index - Steven Wilson

I'm a collector

I collect anything I find

I never throw anything away that's mine

And I'd collect you too

If I was given half a chance

And trap you under

The glass and add my autograph

I catalog

I preserve and I index

And file you into

My collectible Rolodex

I keep the rubbish

What other people give away

And keep all of the

Pieces in a metal tray

Hoard collect file index

Catalog preserve amass index

I'm a collector and

I've always been misunderstood

I like the things that

People always seem to overlook

I gather up and catalog

It in a book I wrote

There's so much now that

I forget if I don't make a note

If I collected you

And put you in a little cage

I could take you out

And study you every day

It isn't easy being me

It's kind of lonely work

My obligation to

Collecting is my only thirst
