I'm sittin' at a coffe table unable to see straight Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate Behind the rain-soaked window pane the scene's bleak Another train leaving home, concending defeat with a low moan Hangin' in a sy made of stone, everybody's leavin' home Called my man Jerome to come and meet me in the twilight zone
Leave ya mobile phone at home and come alone I bouht him coffe an' a snack, settled back, started speakin He was tweakin' at the peak of his hat while I'm seekin' To discover what it takes to stay sober Not to cover my mistakes, try to maybe make sense F the eveidence, It's over She'd gone for good why should I lie Singin' a killer's lullaby Indentified by the dying ring of a goodbye The last thing ya hear before ya life disappear "Is it better when you see her?" Nah, it just gets worse like my stomach'll burst Feels like I been cursed with seven centuries Of bitter memories, Inadequacies of previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time Scene of my past crimes, been her for lifetimes Hearin' the chimes of that old clock that useta mock You got eternity for takin' stock, this place is like a padlock You look shocked, trust me. Nuthin' ever moves but the dust There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease An' that's how it was for centureis, me and my memories
