First with your hands and then with your mouth
|
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds
|
I was a fool, you were my friend
|
We made it happen
|
You took off your clothes, left on the light
|
You stood there so brave
|
You used to be shy
|
Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom
|
Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach
|
That weatherman is a liar
|
He said it would be raining but it's clear and blue as far as I can see
|
|
Left by the lamp, right next to the bed,
|
On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen,
|
"Everything is as it's always been.
|
This never happened.
|
Don't take it too bad it is nothing you did.
|
It's just once something dies you can't make it live.
|
You're a beautiful boy.
|
You're a sweet little kid but I am a woman."
|
So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet
|
And I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened me
|
And since then I've been so good at vanishing
|
|
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth
|
Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me
|
I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free...
|
And a little bit empty
|
No, it isn't so hard to get close to me
|
There will be no arguments
|
We will always agree
|
And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave
|
We'll both take it easy
|
But if you stay too long inside my memory,
|
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
|
And I will keep you there so you can't bother me
|
