You run yourself a bath I just got lost in my two room flat I swallow every word you roll off your tongue In your shadow, play on my walls You're once again just someone And it's hard to recall a single thought of today Spread all through my entangled mind A scent of lily in my bed Still left there from Sunday night Oh and how she spreads All through my entangled mind A scent of lily in my bed Still left there from Sunday night You run yourself a bath I just got lost in my two room flat (Spread, oh) I borrow some silly line from some poet I don't know You roll your tired eyes and fake a shiver with a chuckle And it's hard to recall a single word I just said Spread all through my entangled mind A scent of lily in my bed Still left there from Sunday night Oh and how she spreads All through my entangled mind A scent of lily in my bed Still left there from Sunday night A scent of lily in my bed Now what's next? My heart is in her hands A scent of lily in my bed Now what's next? My heart is in her hands (My heart is in your hands)

Counting ticks from the clock It's a morning too modest She's finding parts of my face Funny looking and anxious It's a cruel world before the eyes of these posh innocents I would use her to stay alive if the ground were to bend And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin She falls flat on the bed again Mutters something about the end While covering her eyes with both her hands I on the other hand I feel fine with the way I am I awoke to her elegance I've figured out a way to make amends "Could you cut open all of my chest I'm already too restless Of course I'm feeling depressed Find a way we could use it" It's a cruel world before the eyes of these posh innocents I would use her to stay alive if the ground were to bend And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin She falls flat on the bed again Mutters something about the end While covering her eyes with both her hands I on the other hand I feel fine with the way I am I awoke to her elegance I've figured out a way to make amends My, my, my We're pretenders We're beaming We're the signs of our time My, my Oh, whatever And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin She falls flat on the bed again Mutters something about the end While covering her eyes with both her hands I on the other hand I feel fine with the way I am I awoke to her elegance I've figured out a way to make amends
