Pulp - The Never-ending Story Lyrics
When all should be done and gone, / he comes round again to see, / he cant keep himselfAway. / he touches her hand and it starts again. / his work is an ugly mess. / he prodsAnd it cries in pain. / he kicks and it starts to scream. / he hurries away when sheCannot see. / when all should be done and gone, / he comes round again to see, / he cantKeep himself away. / he touches her hand and it / starts again. / moving so slowly, /Droplets of kindness / that poison and choke / when this thing should have died long ago./ the entrails are soft and warm, / this time it must be the end. / one touch and it livesAgain. / he keeps it alive to be part of its pain / (and thats mercy. / and thatsCompassion. / and thats being good friends in a crisis. / whats one corpse betweenFriends? ) / oh / oh-oh-oh... / leave it, boy. / just leave it alone. / stop scratching, orItll never heal. / just let it lie in peace. / get out of the way, /get out of the way, /The brakes cannot last for long. / he knows he must let it go, / he knows but he keeps aHold. / he touches her hand and it / starts again. / ah! / ah! / ah! / moving so slowly, /He drops it so gently, / urging its life / to a peak to torment it again!
