Song Lyrics

On the eve of my 25th birthday
You come knocking at my door at night
I tried a hole in my head
A hole in my pocket
Nothing makes me feel as high
As the silhouette of your body in the dim of the hallway light
You move left (nothing had me prepared for this)
I move right (nothing had me prepared for this)

Lordy knows you're still turning me on
Holding heavy hands with heavy hearts
The cranes on the building sites
Extract the people suspending them mid-flight
They realise that they will miss the ones they love
When they are not there (nothing had me prepared for this)

The light in my room goes on at three thirty
I take a bath because I feel dirty
The power goes out and I lay in the dark in the water
I'm running my legs across the surface
I'm in debt and I am nervous
It comes out of my pores and the way that I move my eyes
But if I stare in one place for more than three seconds
I calm down and my heartbeat lessens
It's quiet outside except for the roll of the thunder

Lordy knows you're still turning me on
Holding heavy hands with heavy hearts
The cranes on the building sites
Extract the people suspending them mid-flight
They realise that they will miss the ones they love
When they are not there (nothing had me prepared for this)

On the eve of my 26th birthday
You come knocking at my door at night
I tried a hole in my head
A hole in my pocket
Nothing makes me feel as high
As the silhouette of your body
In the dim of the hallway light
You move left (nothing had me prepared for this)
I move right (nothing had me prepared for this)
You move left (nothing had me prepared for this)
I move right (nothing had me prepared for this)
