lyrics

I woke up sweating in a suitcase in the middle of the floor
Having spent half the night in the midst of verbal war
I picked apart the pieces of the evening tried to figure it all out
Which involved sixteen false daydreams then slowly passing out

There’s no way to keep your head out of the fire
Sporadic Sunday evening drinking keeps it simmering awhile
If only to stare at your reflection for some time
Stay in tonight

When will we lay it to rest
I’ve been slowly drinking until I can’t feel above my waist
Break through and I’ll make the last train
But our lips they move much faster when we’ve got something to gain

She went out cursing up a rumour in the middle of the bar
Which involved half the crowd and half the month of March
On the border between seasons thought she’d go the other way
As usual playing the victimised and leading us astray

There’s no way to do all you intended in a day
And what is more I made a deal with a healer way back who didn’t see it my way
So if only to stare at your reflection for a while
Avoid her gaze tonight

When will we lay it to rest
I’ve been slowly drinking until I can’t feel above my waist
Break through and I’ll make the last train
But our lips they move much faster when we’ve got something to gain

If there’s a way to keep your head free of fear
Then we’re alone together in the city so draw me close I wanna hear
Tonight stay in and avoid her gaze
And I’ll see you when the hills are concave

When will we lay it to rest
I’ve been slowly drinking until I can’t feel above my waist
Break through and I’ll make the last train
But our lips they move much faster when we’ve got something to gain
