Faithless

I'm sittin' at a coffe table unable to see straight

Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate

Behind the rain-soaked window pane the scene's bleak

Another train leaving home, concending defeat with a low moan

Hangin' in a sy made of stone, everybody's leavin' home

Called my man Jerome to come and meet me in the twilight zone



Leave ya mobile phone at home and come alone

I bouht him coffe an' a snack, settled back, started speakin

He was tweakin' at the peak of his hat while I'm seekin'

to discover what it takes to stay sober

Not to cover my mistakes, try to maybe make sense

Singin' a killer's lullaby

Indentified by the dying ring of a goodbye

Feels like I been cursed with seven centuries

I'm movin' round this old house for the last time

Scene of my past crimes, been her for lifetimes

Hearin' the chimes of that old clock that useta mock

You got eternity for takin' stock, this place is like a padlock

You look shocked, trust me. Nuthin' ever moves but the dust

There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease

An' that's how it was for centureis, me and my memories

til you bought the keys, took a coupla Saturdays

An; moved in runnin' from tragedies an' boozin'

Seven hundred years since I came her you appear

Same hair, same quizzical stare

I couldn't get near and the sheer frustration

Was more than I could bear, I was really cursed

Thought I'd been through the wor
