When I sit beside you my heartbeats, beats, please be my baby
I see that I'm turning into skin and
bon, they rattle in the wind.
I lie awake in the din and moan
moan
moan
Down by the shoreline, look out
to sea, find a small island. There,
come new years day, we'll
sail away, we'll both hid
and play.
In her room and on her bed. Dark,
darkly darker, through the halls
I follow her.
Grey and gloom! This room turns up.
I can't sit still, I must get out!
Out! Up-Up! Out-Out! Up! Out!
Dark, darkly darker, through the halls
I follow her.
Down by the shoreline, look out
to sea, find a small island. There,
come new years day, we'll
sail away, we'll both hid
and play.
Hospitals!
And treatments!
Pills!
My heart beats, beats.
Bleep-bleep' machines squeak.
Seassick and wired to walls.
Through these bloody halls, we
watch fleshy jaws in yellowed
gauze looming in the darker doors.
New years day, I lay awake. Behind a curtain,
a voice did quake, said 'take me,
take me, takeme, take me home,
home!' home.
Down by the shoreline,
Look out to sea, find a small island
There, come new years day, we'll sail away
We'll both hid e and play.
