Index lyrics - Steven Wilson song

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 catalogue, 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

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 catalogue 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
