lyrics

1.
It’s cold tonight
and I see it’s my fault;
it’s purple and I’m
sitting still

It’s cold tonight
and I see you’re unhappy;
it’s raining and
I’m heavy against my will.

Could I rise,
could I rise,
could I take you
by the hand,
be a baby,
be an unobtrusive
child for you again?

My sweetness,
you’re a beauty,
you’re a beauty
with your fingers
in his hair.

CHORUS
And I’m tired of pretending means
I’m tired now of talking, touching, looking, thinking;
I’d love silence and that
sweetness at the nape of your neck
and you smiling like you’re ready to explode;
you were something, you were something
like a tree all decked for Christmas
and now here comes the New Year
and we’re dry, dry and grey again.

2.
It’s nine o’clock
and I’m your headache
and I’m booming
and my voice is
a-banging in your face.

I’m speaking,
it ’s ugly,
I’m pretending I am pretty;
I’m the body
and the body might be
a total waste.

Play with me.
Well we’re awkward
and I bump you in the dark;
then I’m speaking
like a chicken,
like a cow

And I’m sorry about this
thing here
and I’m sorry that
you lose me;
if I could I would
touch your real
heart somehow.

CHORUS (x 2)
