|
Got the notice this morning, |
|
Left me numb |
|
You wanna shake your mind up |
|
I want a change of scene |
|
My face was a thousand |
|
Shades of red |
|
And I'll paint me a new backdrop |
|
So we all blend in |
|
I can still feel desire |
|
As the cornerstone caves in |
|
My stomach was reeling |
|
(my stomach was reeling) |
|
To the maritime |
|
We'll look for peace of mind in the dark |
|
Horizontal lines |
|
And I saw that your finger |
|
(your fingers were bleeding) |
|
was bleeding dry |
|
(coulda been more kind) |
|
and I could have been a bit more kind |
|
to your malady |
|
I can still be reminded not to take so thoughtlessly |
|
because |
|
I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore, |
|
Picking fights and talking back |
|
And I just wanna hold you tight |
|
And listen long |
|
All the strength of your quiet side |
|
Out in the stairwell three flights down |
|
I can hear the echo of the sound of water |
|
My will breaking down |
|
Well I missed it the first time, |
|
Like the willing blind |
|
Yeah I had my eyes glued shut, |
|
My fist balled up tight |
|
But I'm willing to open |
|
Turn my song around, yeah |
|
Time is getting wise to my ways |
|
Maybe you'll understand |
|
I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore, |
|
Picking fights and talking back |
|
And I just wanna hold you tight |
|
And listen long |
|
All the strength of your quiet side |
|
I'm stuck on the rainy side |
