Versuri

I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight 
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate 
Behind the rain streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak 
Another train leavin' home, conceding defeat with a low moan 
 
Hangin' in a sky, made of stone 
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome 
To come meet me in the twilight zone 
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone 
 
I bought him coffee and a snack, settled back, started speakin' 
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap, while I'm seekin' to discover 
What it takes to stay sober, not cover my mistakes 
Try to maybe make sense of the evidence 
 
It's over, she's gone for good 
Why should I lie? Singin' a killer's lullaby 
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye 
The last thing you hear before your life disappear 
 
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach could burst 
Feel like I've been cursed 
With seven centuries of bitter memories 
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's 
 
I'm movin' 'round this old house for the last time 
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes 
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock 
You got eternity for takin' stock, this place is like a padlock 
 
You look shocked 
Trust me, nothin' ever moves but the dust 
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease 
And that's how it was for centuries 
 
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys 
Took a couple of Saturdays I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozin' 
Seven hundred years since I came here, you appear, same hair 
Same quizzical stare, I couldn't get near 
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear 
 
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part 
That was just the first part, just the start 
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart 
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base 
 
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape 
You making love to someone else is more than I can take 
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail 
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell 
 
I'm gettin' heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee 
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure 
Unless an escape route is found 
I'm goin' down, underground into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd 
 
The heaviest chain is contained in the sound of one word 
So I'm referred back to hell, huh 
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought 
Of syringes 
 
J, I'm goin' insane with shame 
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again 
With what I call a farmer's swain 
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard 
 
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows 
Oversexed flexing his pec's 
Jesus, what's he gonna make her do next? 
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest 
 
You used to do that to me back in 1253 
Pity me, while you lie with your lover 
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair 
Unaware of who else is there 
 
I move quick, I wanna try my trick one last time 
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline 
When dust moves in the sunshine 
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near human pitch 
 
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched 
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage 
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this cage 
And write another stage into a new age, it's difficult to gauge 
 
But I know that I'll see you again 
On that you may depend 
I just don't know how or when 
Sleep on, my lost love on gone 
 
Jerome took me home under steel skies 
Knowin' I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for tellin' lies 
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes 
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies and he surmised 
 
No surprise couldn't hear that 
Closed my eyes as he steered 
That old black BM home again 
Not knowing how and not knowing when
