Paul Laxer - Water Torture lyrics

Got that catatonic feeling And I'm drooling on the TV Every now and then I think How long have you been gone And where's those groceries? I'll be discovered by explorers My body fossilized in torpor And all the while My thoughts repeat like Chinese water torture When you are gone I tend to ramble on for days It doesn't mean, it just helps me to keep my place Time itself is flattened You come back it never happened Except that now Old man replaced your lover All featureless and fattened In disbelief at your misfortune you say Hell I was only gone the weekend And then I burst to flames You see I've lived entire lives In a single a moment You see, when you are gone the lights go off and on all night The neighbors talk while I stand listless in my socks Until I disappear from sight Got that cataclysmic feeling Babies crawling on the ceiling And now I think Maybe we should start a family
