Don't you know I've been here before? I can't help myself, I'm an open door See these rooms in their melancholy gloom It's so dark in here in my palace of ruin On and off, I turn the lights Even when it's dark at night, oh Shadows flicker, then they vanish I'm famished, I'm famished Tenderly, I tend to me As a mother really ought to be But alas, I find no arms to hold mine Don't you know that your scars are on show? As they've always been when you're mad at me Apologize two or three hundred times It's just sound you make when you believe your lies On and off, I turn the lights Even when it's dark at night, oh Shadows flicker, then they vanish I'm famished, I'm famished Tenderly, I tend to me As a mother really ought to be But alas, I find no arms to hold mine I've been told not to let it take hold Resist the embrace of this darkened place But here I lie in this orange evening light With the sun in my eyes as I wait for you Wait for you Wait for you
