Mellotron Scratch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A tiny flame inside my hand A compromise I never planned Unravel out the finer strands [Refrain] And I'm looking at a blank page now Should I fill it up with words somehow? [Verse 2] I whispered something in her ear I bare my soul, but she don't hear [Chorus] The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Well, maybe she remembers us, collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips [Verse 3] I lay her gently on my clothes She will leave me, yes, I know [Pre-Chorus] And I'm looking at a blank page now Should I fill it up with words somehow? [Chorus] The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Well, maybe she remembers us, collecting space up in the sky The scratching of a Mellotron, it always seemed to make her cry Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips Don't look at me with your mother's eyes, or your killer smile Sing a lullaby Well, maybe she remembers us, collecting space up in the sky Nothing rises from my feet of clay, but it's OK Red mist spreads across my fingertips, ardour slips Don't look at me with your mother's eyes, or your killer smile Sing a lullaby [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Don't look back into black Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into black Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into black To end as friends - so painful... Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into black To end as friends - so painful... Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look back into black To end as friends - so painful... Don't look down, shut it down - don't look down, shut it down... Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look down, shut it down - don't look down, shut it down... Don't look back into black To end as friends - so painful... Don't look down, shut it down - don't look down, shut it down... Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look down, shut it down - don't look down, shut it down... Don't look back into black To end as friends - so painful... Don't look down, shut it down - don't look down, shut it down... Don't let the memory or the sound drag you down Don't look down, shut it down - don't look down, shut it down...
