The Bones of You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So I'm there Charging around with a juggernaut brow Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make Cramming commitments like cats in a sack Telephone burning and a purposeful gait When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch Of a song that I know And the world moves in slow-mo Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day [Hook] And it's you, and it's May And we're sleeping through the day And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away [Verse 2] Do I have time? A man of my calibre? Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager? No! And I dealt with this years ago I took a hammer to every memento But image on image like beads on a rosary Pull through my head as the music takes hold And the sickener hits: I can work 'til I break But I love the bones of you That I will never escape [Hook] And it's you, and it's May And we're sleeping through the day And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away [Bridge] And I can't move my arm For fear that you will wake And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away [Outro] And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away And it's you, and it's May And we're sleeping through the day And I'm five years ago And three thousand miles away
