I’ve been lying awake while you’re falling asleep
Staring at the spots on the ceiling
And wondering if I let Desire off her leash
Would she bite at you and leave you bleeding?
And oh, I’m running a race under water
And oh, my parachute’s made of bricks and mortar
The days go by like sailors, we watch them float away
On sunset seas of pink and blue and grey
And in their tiny ships they carry your secrets, my lies
Barrels of tears to baptise
And oh, we’re falling apart like pavlova
And oh, the battle’s not even near over
The sleeping dog’s starting to wake up
The pieces of us now unstuck
We keep up our faces, we wind up our smiles
Mechanical romance alive
At night I fight for the doona, you scratch with your toes
Blood roses the gifts you bestow
And oh, I’ve backed my self into a corner
And oh, the battle’s not even near over
These transgressions are stones in my pockets
It burns like a lit cigarette
