you’ve got your eye on me
I’ve got my hand in your head
and when the lights go down
that’s when the trouble begins
rain stripped the rose
shed your clothes at the door
all that I’ve done turns to bone
how am I to know where you go
when you’re gone you just
fade in the dust coloured dawn
you said “I want you whole”
“I only have what I have
a head of circling crows
that long to lower me down”
a thief with swollen hands
you drive us both off the map
but when the rafters moan
I try to bend with the branch
bend with the branch
rain stripped the rose
shed your clothes at the door
all that I’ve done turns to bone
how am I to know where you go
when you’re gone you just
fade in the dust coloured dawn
you’ve got your eye on me
I’ve got my hand in your head
and when the lights go down
that’s when the trouble begins
