Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Although I'd have to hollow out my heart
Like scraping out the insides of a pumpkin
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Dress it up like someone elses nightmare
A candle flickering alive inside
And now I keep a??
So?? are afraid to go inside
So?? are afraid to go
Inside
I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance true
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Cold nights like this I feel like staying
In the comfort of the darkness of my cave
There's something there for every little daydream
I spark the flickers up and it turns to flames
I spark the flickers up and it turns to flames
If you wanna fight me there then fight me
And we can walk ten paces and terms
But if you want me dead
You'll just have to soup me through
Cause I would rather die than see your pain
I would rather die than see your pain
I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance true
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Tripping us back and forth like this
Slipping us back and forth like this
Kicking us back and forth like this
With the bills and the calls and the thrills
I've seen it all through the night and back again
With the bills and the calls and the thrills
I've seen it all through the night and back again
Through the night and back again
Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Although I'd have to pick up at my brain
Like a flack upon a scarecrow
If he could raise his arms and fly away
If he could raise his voice then fly
Away
I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance true
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
I've tried hard, oh darling
To keep the balance true
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Tripping us back and forth like this
Slipping us back and forth like this
Kicking us back and forth like this
With the bills and the calls and the thrills
I've seen it all through the night and back again
The bills and the falls and the kills
I've seen it all through the night and back again
Through the night and back again
