lyrics

as we dance,twist serpentine
your hips collide with my state of mind
that has me loosening my tongue
to everything i am
cold sweat and dripping wet
with gin,in drag,a vision so devine
and this is all coming off
just exactly as we planned
look at me now,glassy eyed,self medicated
what have i become? Listen to what i said
deep down you know i have a love so understated
but not for anyone,so get this through your head

you can question my intentions but you cant fault my devotion
as its built on things that you said you would allow
so to stop us both subsiding like a lighthouse into the ocean
you should bare this all in your head for the future now

so i twist on,do as i will
you wont believe the ways i've grown
i have become a machine
thats harder to surprise
and through a kiss that tastes like pills
and conversations in lowered tones
as the words drip out obscene
i refuse to disguise
and i know you hate this
but i love the attrition
the destabalising medicine,i cant get enough
fell so deep in love with all of my addictions
still,you let me in,and now you cant shake me off

so you can question my intentions...

so listen to what i have to say,i will say this only once
where do i begin?
with such a long line of iniquities to clear
with a cloud of smoke between us and a headache setting in
dont say you werent warned,by that tugging at your heart
what have we done? though it may seem unkind
this Triangle we have formed,that is pulling you apart
in this dance we have become
the deaf leading the blind

the messages you're sending,they will see you torn apart
its clear what goes around comes around again somehow
so before you talk of happy endings that are flawed right from the start
my dear,you should bare this all in your head for the future now.
