I needed you, I knew I was in danger
of losing what I used to think was mine
You let me love you till I was a failure,
You let me love you till I was a failure --
Your beauty on my bruise like iodine
I asked you if a man could be forgiven
And though I failed at love, was this a crime?
You said, Don't worry, don't worry, darling
You said, Don't worry, don't you worry, darling
There are many ways a man can serve his time
You covered up that place I could not master
It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes
So I was with you, O sweet compassion
Yes I was with you, O sweet compassion
Compassion with the sting of iodine
Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine
Your fragrance with a fume of iodine
And pity in the room like iodine
Your sister fingers burned like iodine
And all my wanton lust was iodine
My masquerade of trust was iodine

Summer shut me up
you got your revenge fuck
And all I ever wanted to
was to stay
and all I ever wanted to
was to stay with you
Heads will roll again
Clean

Hurling ourselves down to the depths
Back since the day lest we forget
'Cos time made us set and memories crept
So now there's political debt
There is no left wing
To fight the right wing
We're like turkeys in a box
Our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox
We're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
A sad little face, all over the place
The lower you stoop, the less the disgrace
You use all your charms to send me alone
Have you got the legs to call us to arms
Like lambs to the slaughter
We paid for your daughters
We're like turkeys in a box
Our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox
We're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
Like the curve of your love
Like the curve that won't heal up
You know
We're like turkeys in a box
Our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox
We're like presents all wrapped up
And we can't wait for you to give us away
We're like turkeys in a box
Our feathers all plucked off
And we're all ready for Christmas Day
Here's the paradox
We're like presents all wrapped up

Match, the rope, wires, tied up in twine
Corkscrew, dictionary, time
Paint, paper, pillows, ink the hangman
Tape recording, postcard, sign
Stamp it 'Evidence Of Life', tomorrow tracks the three-four line
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Alarm clock fights, sedentary life
'Days Of The Week' wine
Mapping, water-tight, needles in the night
Plastic, checkbook, rhyme
Paper, paint, the kitchen knives, safety pins and iodine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine
Iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine
Iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine
Iodine, iodine, iodine, iodine

I say I wanna be healthy but I turn up the noise.
And the IV drips a steady stream of poison.
I think I'm just in love with the feeling.
Break my bones so I can feel them healing.
Crazy's I believe the medical term.
When we wanna recover but we don't wanna learn.
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times.
And give me some more of that iodine.
I can't make reality connect,
I'll push 'til I have nothing left.
But if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I say I wanna be happy but I quickly forget.
When I sabotage all the good I've got left.
Depression's like a big fur coat.
It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm.
Crazy's I believe the medical term.
When we wanna recover but we don't wanna learn.
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times.
And give me some more of that iodine.
I can't make reality connect,
I'll push 'til I have nothing left.
But if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I don't like pain but I bring it to life.
I don't like scars but I'm good with a knife.
I don't like tears but I'm starting to cry
When I realize I'm destroying my life
I do this to myself,
I do this to myself.
Stop blaming someone else,
We do this to ourselves.
I can't make reality connect,
I'll push 'til I have nothing left.
But if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
So if we want to wake up
Why we still singing these lullabies.
So if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies

see the world with jaded eyes
the shallow structures of our crime
the stone falls from your hand
you slip under the sand
try to understand
conscience forms a plan
see the world with painted eyes
collected conscience moves in stride
the stone falls from your hand
you rise above the sand
try to understand
we define the plan
question the ideal
thought will make it real
reaction you can feel
truth will be revealed
is the message clear?
is the passage near?
or buried in the past?
how long will it last?
wear the scar to feel divine

I don't want to talk.
I roll my red eyes back,
closed and latched;
still you watch.
Sweep from left to right.
Frame six hundred nine,
it never lies,
like some electric eye.
Iodine night sky, straight to veins through eyes.
Iodine night sky, diagnose this time: sickness or a crime?
profane something fine; so you define.
Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.
Ten times, ten times fast.
Dye infection black.
A note pinned on your back,
painfully exact.
Iodine night sky, straight to veins through eyes.
Iodine night sky, diagnose this time.
Now pathologize: sickness or a crime,
as you define.
Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.
Ten times, ten times.
Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.
Say it like you mean it, boy.
Shut your mouth until you can.
