Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Deliah on the corner Paper cup by her shoe Lipstick on her filter Like a faded tattoo Says she used to sing on Sundays Hair up, high-heeled shoes Now it’s last night’s bingo numbers Stuffed in a stolen booze bag too [Chorus] Deliah, do they see you? Or just walk straight through your skin? You say, “I just want to feel human Just want to feel human again” I bring you tea and a sandwich You laugh, say “cheers, my friend” “I just want to feel human Just want to feel human again” [Verse 2] I ask her for her story She shrugs, “Where should I begin? Lost it all on bright machines Then I lost myself in gin” Says the night bus is her bedroom The pavement is her pen “Every stare cuts like a ticket They never look again” [Chorus] Deliah, do they see you? Or just walk straight through your skin? You say, “I just want to feel human Just want to feel human again” I come back round there daily Same time, same cracked step end You say, “I just want to feel human Just want to feel human again” [Bridge] One grey morning, rain on stone Your corner’s bare, I’m stood alone Just a darker patch where you once sat And a dent where your paper cup was at Did you win, did you lose, did you get a warm bed? I whisper your jokes in my head (oh Deliah) [Chorus] Deliah, do they see you? I see you in every crowd You said, “I just want to feel human” I’m still saying it out loud So if you found some softer pillow Or just the sky in the end I hope you finally feel human Finally feel human, my friend
