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 'll 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, nothing 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 the couple of Saturdays 
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing 
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 getting 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 going down underground 
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd 
The heaviest chain is contained is 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 (as in Jerome), I'm going 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 going 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 want to try my trick one last time 
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline 
When dust move 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
