First with your hands and then with your mouth A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds I was a fool, you were my friend We made it happen You took off your clothes, left on the light You stood there so brave You used to be shy Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach That weatherman is a liar He said it would be raining but it's clear and blue as far as I can see
Left by the lamp, right next to the bed, On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen, "Everything is as it's always been. This never happened. Don't take it too bad it is nothing you did. It's just once something dies you can't make it live. You're a beautiful boy. You're a sweet little kid but I am a woman." So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet And I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened me And since then I've been so good at vanishing
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free... And a little bit empty No, it isn't so hard to get close to me There will be no arguments We will always agree And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave We'll both take it easy But if you stay too long inside my memory, I will trap you in a song tied to a melody And I will keep you there so you can't bother me
