Lyric Cut-Out Shapes
I enter the room
confident enough
for now I tread
a straight and narrow way
so I sleep soundly
a little blue in the face
cut-out shapes
in secondhand daylight
Somewhere else
something else
on my mind
She s caressing me
with the hidden hands
of the only kind of violence
she thinks I ll understand
we ve got them dancing
to all of our confessions
they don t know how
we rehearse our dreams
Somewhere else ...
I just get numb
when you re hard to find
We met at a psychiatric unit
she was in for having habits
no one else would try
she didn t know what she was in control of
she had all the advantages of magic
no one could deny
There was an old lady
who swallowed a fly
your inescapable mother
such a crazy lover
I just get numb ...
Find out
you ll find out
confident enough
for now I tread
a straight and narrow way
so I sleep soundly
a little blue in the face
cut-out shapes
in secondhand daylight
Somewhere else
something else
on my mind
She s caressing me
with the hidden hands
of the only kind of violence
she thinks I ll understand
we ve got them dancing
to all of our confessions
they don t know how
we rehearse our dreams
Somewhere else ...
I just get numb
when you re hard to find
We met at a psychiatric unit
she was in for having habits
no one else would try
she didn t know what she was in control of
she had all the advantages of magic
no one could deny
There was an old lady
who swallowed a fly
your inescapable mother
such a crazy lover
I just get numb ...
Find out
you ll find out
