Song Lyrics

This mess becomes beneath us now
We cannot sweat this poison out
It's in my skin and in my mouth
And when I sing these lies come out
The hooks are deep but so is this lake
Princess please make mistakes
Make it seem like I've done right
So I can sleep well tonight

And it ain't the cost
And you ain't the boss
It ain't like I'm not on your side
And it ain't like I'm trying to keep you
When the secret is you want another guy
You're on my mind

You squeeze them ideas out
And I just forgot math
Got to make some space for pain
'Cause them words just left your mouth
Boarded on a train bound for my destination brain
Welcome in, we've been waiting
We've been waiting

Drinking blood don't keep me young
It's just the taste on my tongue
It makes me stay up late and talk
Destroy yourself, what the f*ck

Brian Peter George Eno, Laurie Anderson, Brian Eno
