Lyrics

Cut me like a razor, like a deck
Or like a deal that you make
Blame me for the poison in your veins
Or for the bite marks on your neck

Watch me running backwards, tripping forwards
Or in circles round your head
Plant me in the ground or in a pot
And give me water from tears you shed

Chorus:
Just close your eyes now girl
Close 'em tight, this is gonna hurt like hell
You realize
You realize this is gonna hurt

Lightning coming down, and striking you
Between your left eye and your third
Seagulls swooping low they make you feel like
Tippi Hedren in "The Birds"

Diesel, you cannot drink it, but you feel
You must drink something cause you're dry
Backdoors, you never use them, but you know
You must say something, so you lie

Chorus

Bridge:
Fantasize about the recent past
Skipping over dead snakes in the grass

It's clear now, just like the water that you pour
Or like the skylight, or cellophane
Wrapped tight around my face, behind my back
And to a lamp post in the rain

Chorus
