lyrics

Yeah I know how I feel,
Yeah I know how I feel,
And I feel so wrong in a crowd,
Speaking far too loud.

Yeah I know how I look
Yeah I know how I look,
And I must look so frightful a mess,
Sleepless and depressed.

'Cus everywhere I turn vampires so sallow and thin:
The speedy little rodent's heart beats right through it's skin.
Perching on your ruby saddle swept in the wind,
Forty veils against your chin.

Yeah I know what I think,
Yeah I know what I think,
And I think I might have misread,
All what fills your head.

Yeah I know all your tricks,
Yeah I know all your tricks,
Because you've tricked me once or twice before,
And left me wasted on the floor.

'Cus everywhere I turn vampires so sallow and thin:
The speedy little rodent's heart beats right through it's skin.
Perching on your ruby saddle swept in the wind,
Forty veils chafing your chin,
You drink the applause,
Deep as the ocean,
And wise behind the gauze.

You can't walk on water you can't help the sick and dying,
Falling on their knees all around you.
You can't change the fluid I got into wine in my hands.
Failed to fake the face of a smooth young seducer smirking,
Took it in another direction,
But you can't fix your father, you can't mend your mother I'm afraid.
You can't.
