Emma Pollock - Nine Lives lyrics

You don't have to cut all your credit cards You don't have to lock all this stuff behind bars You don't have to phone up the police today Please don't send all the nurses away I know that you dream and you think it's real I hope when the pain comes, you really can't feel Talk in your sleep and your sleep is long And I try not to listen, 'cause the words sound all wrong I'm just trying to wait for this wave from the window From you and your nine lives And I just want to witness this wave from the window From you and your nine lives, nine lives And I throw a brick through your window pane If only to see you to stand up again And shout at the air while you wave your arms And prove to me you've never come to real harm. They severed your speech but you're shouting out If they come back for more then it's time to get out 'Cause surely a life is a life, after all? But you don't know if this one beats no life at all. I'm just waiting for this wave from your window From you and your nine lives And I just want to witness this wave from the window From you and your nine lives, nine lives I could not believe the scene before my eyes When faced with such invention, unmistakeable intention When one vice falls, another must arise I'm just waiting for this wave from the window From you and your nine lives And I just want to witness this wave from the window From you and your nine lives I'm just waiting for this wave from the window From you and your nine lives And I just want to witness this wave from the window From you and your nine lives, nine lives I'm just waiting for waves from the window I'm just waiting for waves from the window I'm just waiting for waves from the window I'm just waiting for waves from the window I'm just waiting for waves I'm just waiting for waves Waiting for waves Waiting for waves Waiting for waves You and your nine lives You and your nine lives From you and your nine lives
