Lying on my back i feel you breathing s**ing down the ghosts into your sleep There's something in your spine that makes me nervous And the black that swells between us grows more deep I cut the world in chords making melodies from words and i'm confused again Take all this abuse because i ain't got much to lose It's a starry starry night out here on hope street But hope gives way to hunger when you're poor And with pockets full of promises and poems I know that you ain't worth much anymore Spoke in broken time crooked rythyms twisted rhymes and i'm confused again Paint my world in blue because i've never liked to lose I don't think i want to spend another night with you I don't think i want to spend another day feeling the way you leave me to Standing in the half light of the morning I watch the shadows lace across my shoes There's something in your voice that makes me nervous If i can tell we're lying why can't you? The song that's in my head is playing backwards in this bed and i'm confused again Seems like i have to choose it feels like either way i lose
