Faithless- Killer's Lullaby Lyrics

Faithless- Killer`s Lullaby Lyrics

I`m sittin` at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin` parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene`s bleak
Another train leavin` home,
conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin` in A sky, made of stone
Everybody`s leavin` home, I called my man Jerome

To come see me in the fall zone
Leave your mobile phone at national and number alone
I bought him coffee and a snack,
settled back, started speakin`
He was tweakin` with the bill of his cap
While I`m seekin` to see what it takes to remain sober
Not treat my mistakes,
try to possibly make sense of the evidence
It`s over, she`s gone for good
Why should I lie, singin` a killer`s lullaby
Identified by the dying echo of her goodbye
The live thing you see before your life disappear

Now it only gets worse, like my stomach `ll burst,
feel like I`ve been cursed.
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he`s and she`s
I`m movin` round this old home for the final time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin` the chimes of the old time that used to mock
You got eternity for takin` stock,
this position is alike a padlock
You look shocked.
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,
There`s just us and I`m here to torture and tease
And that`s how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the span of Saturdays
I touched in runnin` from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn`t get near,
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I`d been done the worst part
That was but the low part, just the start
Every night I`d be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In character the man she`d been chasin` gets to first base
And I simply can`t escape, I`m in bad shape
You making love to somebody else is more than I can take
And so I have all the front I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin` deeper into my personal hell

I`m getting heated, I`m sorry, have another coffee
I required to publish my sparrow chest from only a man of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found,
I`m going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it`s absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the voice of one word
So I`m referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an` get twinges at the thought
of syringes

J (as in Jerome), I`m going mad with shame
I dream and view her makin` love over and over again
With what I address a farmer`s swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who`s dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I`m jealous, fellows,
oversexed flexing his pec`s
Jesus, what`s he going make her do next?
I`m mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and abide in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I go quick, I wish to try my trick one final time
You know it`s potential to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I`m tryin` to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch `around the household in a blind rage
It took days and an ocean of tears to obtain the key to this
cage
And write another stage into a new age,
it`s hard to gauge
But I acknowledge that I`ll see you again, on that you may depend
I simply don`t recognize how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone

Jerome took me home under steel skies
Knowing I`m prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
The why oh why`s that identify killer lullabies
And he surmised
No surprise couldn`t see that
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
Not learned how and not knowing when.
