You expected my war diaries, but time ran out and I, I let you down Small thanks now written in French is no shorthand for this thing gave me writer's cramp
Another dream about shapeshifting Well we move with such elegance, with such grace With all our dignity just in place
Deer die with their eyes wide open, eyes wide open, eyes wide open Deer die with their eyes wide open
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons to get across the sense of impending doom And the leaves... major leagues (?) look like the foxes on the hard shoulder And for some reason I think that I have drifted from the story to the bypass of the town I have visited, so go step back and track for all the sighs we'd ever sighed
Deer die with their eyes wide open, eyes wide open, eyes wide open Deer die with their eyes wide open
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons to get across the sense of impending doom and I am 17 pages through this notebook now and there are little more than pictures of how I see you in an X-ray machine It's more like a television screen And you're in a rut, and I know that you know what I mean And then the realisation hits that not even two dozen choirs could save us now
Turn up on your doorstep Feeling like roadkill Tasting like postage stamps (?) I could live alone With everything I ever wrote
