| [00:45.21] |
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight |
| [00:48.24] |
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate |
| [00:51.00] |
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak |
| [00:53.88] |
Another train leavin' home, |
| [00:55.44] |
Conceding defeat with a low moan |
| [01:00.72] |
Hangin' in a sky, made of stone |
| [01:02.91] |
Everybody's leavin' home, i called my man jerome |
| [01:05.94] |
To come meet me in the twilight zone |
| [01:08.16] |
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone |
| [01:13.89] |
I bought him coffee and a snack, |
| [01:15.39] |
Settled back, started speakin' |
| [01:16.89] |
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap |
| [01:18.69] |
While i'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober |
| [01:21.87] |
Not cover my mistakes, |
| [01:23.28] |
Try to maybe make sense of the evidence |
| [01:25.68] |
It's over, she's gone for good |
| [01:27.39] |
Why should i lie, singin' a killer's lullaby |
| [01:30.57] |
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye |
| [01:34.05] |
The last thing you hear before your life disappear |
| [01:49.44] |
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst, |
| [01:52.59] |
Feel like i've been cursed. |
| [01:54.09] |
With seven centuries of bitter memories |
| [01:56.79] |
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's |
| [01:59.58] |
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time |
| [02:02.22] |
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes |
| [02:05.10] |
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock |
| [02:08.13] |
You got eternity for takin' stock, |
| [02:10.35] |
This place is like a padlock |
| [02:12.33] |
You look shocked. |
| [02:13.41] |
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust, |
| [02:16.32] |
There's just us and i'm here to torment and tease |
| [02:19.86] |
And that's how it was for centuries |
| [02:22.02] |
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys |
| [02:24.72] |
Took the couple of saturdays |
| [02:26.16] |
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing |
| [02:28.56] |
Seven hundred years since i came here |
| [02:30.99] |
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare |
| [02:35.85] |
I couldn't get near, |
| [02:36.87] |
And the sheer frustration was more than i could bear |
| [02:39.69] |
I was really cursed, thought i'd been through the worst part |
| [02:42.72] |
That was just the first part, just the start |
| [02:45.36] |
Every night i'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart |
| [02:48.21] |
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base |
| [02:51.09] |
And i just can't escape, i'm in bad shape |
| [02:53.82] |
You making love to someone else is more than i can take |
| [02:56.76] |
And so i make all the movement i can to no avail |
| [02:59.70] |
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell |
| [03:08.13] |
I'm getting heated, i'm sorry, have another coffee |
| [03:11.28] |
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure |
| [03:14.73] |
Unless an escape route is found, |
| [03:18.15] |
I'm going down underground |
| [03:19.71] |
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd |
| [03:21.99] |
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word |
| [03:25.38] |
So i'm referred back to hell, huh |
| [03:27.42] |
Just as well, i hate needles an' get twinges at the thought |
| [03:30.51] |
Of syringes |
| [03:54.27] |
J (as in jerome), i'm going insane with shame |
| [03:56.73] |
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again |
| [03:59.76] |
With what i call a farmer's swain |
| [04:01.80] |
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard |
| [04:05.55] |
Oh god, of course i'm jealous, fellows, |
| [04:07.47] |
****ing flexing his pec's |
| [04:08.88] |
Jesus, what's he going make her do next? |
| [04:11.04] |
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest |
| [04:13.86] |
You used to do that to me back in 1253 |
| [04:16.86] |
Pity me, while you lie with your lover |
| [04:19.59] |
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair |
| [04:22.62] |
Unaware of who else is there |
| [04:28.20] |
I move quick, i want to try my trick one last time |
| [04:30.96] |
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline |
| [04:33.93] |
When dust move in the suns*ine |
| [04:36.33] |
So i'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch |
| [04:39.63] |
Which reminds me how i used to come unstitched |
| [04:42.48] |
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage |
| [04:45.27] |
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this |
| [04:48.51] |
Cage |
| [04:49.11] |
And write another stage into a new age, |
| [04:52.14] |
It's difficult to gauge |
| [04:53.73] |
But i know that i'll see you again, on that you may depend |
| [04:57.54] |
I just don't know how or when |
| [05:01.14] |
Sleep on, my lost love on gone |
| [05:02.97] |
Jerome took me home under steel skies |
| [05:03.78] |
Knowing i'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies |
| [05:05.28] |
And what i verbalize he can see behind my eyes |
| [05:06.24] |
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies |
| [05:07.32] |
And he surmised |
| [05:18.00] |
No surprise couldn't hear that |
| [05:18.57] |
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black bm home again |
| [05:22.53] |
Not knowing how and not knowing when. |
