Lyrics

[00:12.20] I was woken up at 4am
[00:14.32] By your screams and anguished cries,
[00:16.45] Your mother was singing in the bathroom,
[00:18.64] She will never be my child,
[00:23.14] Oh baby talks in her sleep so loud.
[00:28.51] We're living four flights up but I swear right now it feels like underground.
[00:32.51]
[00:36.93] Well you have absolutely no common sense,
[00:39.43] Yes I know that's your charm,
[00:41.12] You spend the whole day on the phone,
[00:43.18] You say well it helps you stay calm,
[00:46.56] You cling to my arm, yes I know that's your charm.
[00:53.31] And when I ask you what you want,
[00:55.43] You say "Do you mind hey crocodile?"
[00:57.56] Well then could you give me some peace,
[00:59.63] You say "Well, maybe for a while",
[01:03.18] Sometimes you know you could almost be a child.
[01:06.24]
[01:09.87] Oh must you tell me all your secrets,
[01:11.99] When it’s hard enough to love you knowing nothing?
[01:18.38] We’re living four flights up,
[01:20.56] But I swear right now it feels like underground.
[01:28.37] You are your own worst enemy,
[01:30.38] So don't expect my sympathy,
[01:32.50] Oh go back to your mother's house,
[01:34.87] Snd cry your little heart out.
[01:41.00] You can drive them back to town,
[01:42.75] In a beat-up Grace Kelly car,
[01:44.81] Looking like a friend of Truman Capote,
[01:47.25] Looking exactly like you are,
[01:51.88] Yes, yes I know that's your charm.
[01:57.18] So don't ask me if I want you,
[01:59.31] Only ask me if I must,
[02:01.50] I been blown around so long,
[02:03.69] Don't know which senses to trust,
[02:07.51] Oh no, but I know that I must.
[02:13.96] Oh must you tell me all your secrets,
[02:15.95] When it’s hard enough to love you knowing nothing?
[02:22.46] We're living four flights up,
[02:24.39] But I swear right now it feels like underground.
