Porcupine Tree - Deadwing lyrics

And something warm and soft just pa**ed through here It took the precious things that I hold dearer It rifled through the grey and disappeared The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer Like a cancer scare In the dentist's chair s**ing in the air Wire across the stair Kicking down the door At your local store With the world at war Voices through the floor Unexpected news Wearing high heeled shoes Blowing out the fuse Paying all your dues Deadwing lullaby Like a fracture tied It's a worthless lie To the public eye I don't take waifs and strays back home with me My bleeding heart does not extend to charity Yes I'd have to say I like my privacy And did you know you're on closed circuit TV?
