Darlin' there's a river near the house where I grew up And I think it might be moving fast enough And there's a silence there so thick that you could stick a knife in it Or anything that you've been dreaming of And you should know that my affections are always true And my heart's got a tricky valve that beats for nobody but you And when I decide to kill you I'll do it with my hands And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman My words may seem mighty hollow But don't doubt that I can 'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman Last night I found a note you wrote and left inside my room And picked apart the words you didn't choose I wrote out every one and then I hid them around your room This love is bound with heart and guts and glue May I say that my intentions are through and through And there's a twitch in my left eyebrow that tics for nobody but you And when I decide to kill you I'll do it with my hands And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman My words may seem mighty hollow But don't doubt that I can 'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman If I should seem distracted Oh, you needn't be confused 'Cos darlin', you have no idea the things I'd do for you There's a hole that's in the wall there And I put it there for you 'Cos darlin' you have no idea the things I'd do to you And when I decide to kill you I'll do it with my hands And fine gloves worth the death of a gentleman My words may seem mighty hollow But don't doubt that I can 'Cos I've got long fingers for a woman

Well, no one told me about her The way she lied Well, no one told me about her How many people cried But it's too late to say you're sorry How could I know, why should I care? Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there Oh, let me tell you about the way she looked The way she acts and the color of her hair Her voice was soft and cool Her eyes were clear and bright But she's not there Well, no one told me about her What could I do?

It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It's quiet company It's quiet company It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's quiet company It's quiet company It's quiet company And I can't fall asleep Without a little help It takes a while to settle down My shivered bones Wait till the panic's out It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break Company It's quiet company It's quiet company And I won't follow you Into the rabbit hole I said I would But then I saw Your shivered bones They didn't want me to It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break

You hold me like you're gonna drop me Knowing you'll never do it softly Slipping through your fingers with the grease Then you told me I taste like a lolly So sweet, but only when you want me Changing like a channel on TV I saw the newspaper on the Front lawn of the neighbours and thought "They haven't brought it inside yet" Now I'm remembering the things I can't forget I've been figuring out How to figure things out But you'd rather your eyes shut tightly So you don't have to see what I see You've been living with doubt Leaves a bad taste in your mouth Now I've been holding on too long If you're gonna drop me do it softly It's such a terrible time to Be the one, the bubblegum, the glue that's stuck to you Why can't I scrub me off of you? I've been figuring out How to figure things out But you'd rather your eyes shut tightly So you don't have to see what I see You've been living with doubt Leaves a bad taste in your mouth Now I've been holding on too long If you're gonna drop me do it softly It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible but I'm not you It's terrible but it'll do I'm terrible and so are you
