At first it was clear it was easy to see Till you cursed and reversed And you turned it on me Like a book, like a cover you were easy to read Like clock like a mother you were curiously free Starring in a movie that was all about me You’re the twist in the ending of the faraway tree Everybody in the castle is fast asleep Wake up stupid beauty no time to be weak
You take chances with me You take chances with me You take chances with me You take chances with me Take your last liberty
Underneath the covers that you wear on your sleeve Is a time and place, everything that you leave Trying to be clever isn’t pretty for me Suffocating love, give me room to breathe Stuck in a movie that is all about me Living in fiction and escaping a dream I thought you’d said you’d never had the measure of me Get up it’s time to leave
