I'm sick of counting on my ribs Hollowed cheeks, I'm paper thin Making sure I'm never full So, I can stay this beautiful Traded all my happiness For nothing but emptiness I'm burdened, checking off the days Young and yet my body aches I don't know how much I can take I can't go on living this way It's time for her to fly away Sing something soft and slow A song that she used to know Lay her down in a bed of roses And make sure that lace dress fits Make sure her momma knows She's taking her pain when she goes It's only goodbye for a moment So, go on and close that lid Say "Goodnight," and just let her sleep No need to cry for the girl I used to be Make the coffin big enough To fit the boy she used to love Who never loved her half as much And tell her that her work is done Put the daisies on her chest And lay there good, rest Oh, sing something soft and slow A song that she used to know Lay her down in a bed of roses And make sure that lace dress fits Make sure her momma knows She's taking her pain when she goes It's only goodbye for a moment So, go on and close that lid Say "Goodnight," and just let her sleep No need to cry for the girl I used to be

This used to be my playground This used to be my childhood dream This used to be the place I ran to Whenever I was in need of a friend Why did it have to end? And why do they always say? Don't look back Keep your head held high Don't ask them why because life is short And before you know you're feeling old And your heart is breaking Don't hold on to the past Well that's too much to ask This used to be my playground (ah used to be) This used to be my childhood dream This used to be the place I ran to Whenever I was in need of a friend Why did it have to end? And why do they always say?, no regrets But I wish that you were here with me Well then there's hope yet I can see your face in our secret place You're not just a memory Say goodbye to yesterday Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say) This used to be my playground (used to be) This used to be our pride and joy This used to be the place we ran to That no one in the world could dare destroy This used to be our playground (used to be) This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to I wish you were standing here with me This used to be our playground (used to be) This used to be our childhood dream This used to be the place we ran to The best things in life are always free Wishing you were here with me

I wake up and right away I know The minute I turn on my bedroom radio The music is Lady Gaga's song There's a hissin' in my ears Something's wrong Put on some pants, turn on a little light I keep the curtains closed outside it's just too bright On my way to the bathroom I hit the wall And when I look into the mirror I see nothing at all I'm going crazy the pressure gets to me Between my shoulders on top of my body There's a great big hole a mystery There's a hole where my hole used to be In the dark I finally reach the sink I grab the faucet hold my breath and try to think The water doesn't end up on my skin And I finally start to grasp the giant mess I'm in It feels as if my body's closing down I lose my balance and my toothbrush hits the ground And I don't even recognize my face When I was young my mind was clear how I miss those days I'm going crazy the pressure gets to me Between my shoulders on top of my body There's a great big hole a mystery There's a hole where my head used to be Yeah there's a hole where my head to be On all fours I crawl back to bed I try to remember how many of those days I've had I just need sleep so I try to improvise But when your head is gone it's hard to close eyes I'm going crazy the pressure gets to me Between my shoulders on top of my body There's a great big hole a mistery There's a hole where my head used to be There's a hole where my head used to be

Hot procession Gloomy Conga of glum looking beauties Strolling through the opening scene Where'd you want it? It's your decision honey, my planet or yours? Sectoral heterochromia Aviation in the evening I can feel it coming on Mama told me you should start As you mean to go wrong Or else you're never gonna get it right Señorita Well you need not come Coke head close to me 'Cause I can hear you perfectly clear from here Aviation in the evening I can feel it coming on Mama told me you should start As you mean to go wrong Or else you're never gonna get it right Elementary Hallelujahs Annalise's dulcet tones Aviation in the evening I just can't leave it alone I reckon I just might have broke the ice The Colourama in your eyes It takes me on a moonlight drive It's the way you wing it While you're figuring it out

Come down tapping on the glass As I lock the passenger door Somehow it got in the back Now I can't relax anymore Last night got a hold of me I can't wrestle free from my head Sunlight banging on the wall Begging me for more promises And I slip and I slide Like a spider on an icicle Frozen in time It's a trick of the light I got a girl around the corner still Trying to change my mind And never in my wildest dreams Has it occurred to me to try to go to sleep Wonder whether I'll grow curious When old Dr. Dusk comes to call for me Midnight I'm like her specialty She'll outmuscle me, certainly In the end Midnight has got the hots for me And I'm about to be Born again Love hearts heavy in her hands Oh no not again! New regrets Rough start but we all know that dance Do those old boots remember the steps? And I slip and I slide Like a spider on an icicle Frozen in time It's a trick of the light I got a girl around the corner still Trying to change my mind And never in my wildest dreams Has it occurred to me to try to go to sleep Wonder whether I'll grow curious When old Dr. Dusk comes to call for me Midnight I'm like her specialty She'll outmuscle me, certainly In the end Midnight has got the hots for me And I'm about to be Born again

I just sort of always feel sick without you, baby I ain't got anything to lick without you, baby Nothing seems to stick without you, baby Ain't I fallen in love? It's just the pits without you, baby It's really just the pits without you, baby It's like everyone's a dick without you, baby Ain't I fallen in love? And all my pals will tell me is that I'm crazy You bet I'm loopy, alright And I just don't recognise This fool that you have made me Whoa, I ain't seen him for a while And as your shrinking figure blows a kiss I catch and smash it on my lips Darling, I can't seem to quit Completely falling to bits I really might be losing it The idea that you've existed All along's ridiculous I don't know what to say Baby, we ought to fuck Seven years of bad luck out The parlour room mirror Could I have made it any clearer? It's love like a tongue in a nostril Love like an ache in the jaw You're the first day of spring With a septum piercing Little Miss Sweet Dreams, Tennessee

When we walked the streets together All the faces seemed to smile back And now the pavements have nothing to offer And all the faces seem to need a slap There's an unfamiliar grip On an unfamiliar handkerchief Attending to the tears on cheeks I wouldn't notice with you No matter how vicious the grief Her expression was damp and crooked Grabs onto my throat and won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Save me from The secateurs I'll pretend I didn't hear Can't you see I'm the ghost in the wrong coat? Biting butter and crumbs There's a handsome maverick You don't talk about to keep me calm And I can't help it if I create a version That pulls you back onto his arm Please don't tell me You don't have to darling, I can sense That he painted you a gushing sunset And slayed angry panthers in your defence And he stands separate and ever deadly Clings onto my throat and won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Won't let go Save me from The secateurs I'll pretend I didn't hear Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat? Biting butter and crumbs Save me from The secateurs I'll pretend I didn't hear Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat? Biting butter and crumbs

Decided To sneak off away from your stomach And try your pulse They captured What seemed all unknowing and candid But they suspected it was false She's playful The boring would warn you, be careful Of her brigade In order To tame this relentless marauder Move away from the parade She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse Endearingly bedraggled in the wind Subtle in her method of seduction Twenty little tragedies begin And she would throw her feather-boa in the road If she thought that it would set the scene Unfittingly dipped into your companions Enlightened them to make you seethe And there's affection to rent The age of the understatement Before the attraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart Affection to rent The age of the understatement Before this attraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart And my fingers scratch at my hair Before my mind can get too reckless The idea of seeing you here Is enough to make the sweat go cold

Lazy afternoon strolls make for her howls At the trees Going home with trouble written in dirt on Her knees There's nowhere else to be Off into the long grass I want her to drag me away Every single footpath That I ever try and take She'll circumnavigate They pass us by and we're just out of view They don't have a clue They're in ones they're in twos They're in sensible shoes They're in purple cagoules She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water And like no one else could She does the woods Faces made for daylight Ought to be out of the house You'd do the moon and back twice easy Just to kiss half of her mouth She's what it's all about They pass us by and we're just out of view They don't have a clue They're in ones they're in twos They're in sensible shoes They're in purple cagoules She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water And like no one else could She does the woods She does the woods She turns my back to the earth And shows me that's Where I'm meant to be I hear the chirps from the birds As if they heard somebody coming I see her lit from behind Looking down on me In front of a natural tapestry that's like a Spirograph of branches That dance in the breeze She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water And like no one else could (She does the woods)
