Faithless - Killer's Lullaby Lyrics
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straightWatchin' parallel lines unwind and undulateBehind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleakAnother train leavin' home,Conceding defeat with a low moanHangin' in a sky, made of stoneEverybody's leavin' home, i called my man jeromeTo come meet me in the twilight zoneLeave your mobile phone at home and come aloneI bought him coffee and a snack,Settled back, started speakin'He was tweakin' with the peak of his capWhile i'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay soberNot cover my mistakes,Try to maybe make sense of the evidenceIt's over, she's gone for goodWhy should i lie, singin' a killer's lullabyIdentified by the dying ring of her goodbyeThe last thing you hear before your life disappearNow it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,Feel like i've been cursed.With seven centuries of bitter memoriesAnd inadequacies, previous he's and she'sI'm movin' round this old house for the last timeScene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimesHearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mockYou got eternity for takin' stock,This place is like a padlockYou look shocked.Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,There's just us and i'm here to torment and teaseAnd that's how it was for centuriesMe and my memories, till you brought the keysTook the couple of saturdaysI moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozingSeven hundred years since i came hereYou appear, same hair, same quizzical stareI couldn't get near,And the sheer frustration was more than i could bearI was really cursed, thought i'd been through the worst partThat was just the first part, just the startEvery night i'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heartIn case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first baseAnd i just can't escape, i'm in bad shapeYou making love to someone else is more than i can takeAnd so i make all the movement i can to no availScream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hellI'm getting heated, i'm sorry, have another coffeeI needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressureUnless an escape route is found,I'm going down undergroundInto lifetimes of pain, it's absurdThe heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one wordSo i'm referred back to hell, huhJust as well, i hate needles an' get twinges at the thoughtOf syringesJ (as in jerome), i'm going insane with shameI dream and watch her makin' love over and over againWith what i call a farmer's swainUnintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hardOh god, of course i'm jealous, fellows,Oversexed flexing his pec'sJesus, what's he going make her do next?I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chestYou used to do that to me back in 1253Pity me, while you lie with your loverI stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hairUnaware of who else is thereI move quick, i want to try my trick one last timeYou know it's possible to vaguely define my outlineWhen dust move in the sunshineSo i'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitchWhich reminds me how i used to come unstitchedAnd switch 'round the house in a blind rageIt took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to thisCageAnd write another stage into a new age,It's difficult to gaugeBut i know that i'll see you again, on that you may dependI just don't know how or whenSleep on, my lost love on gone
