Lyrics
a deep breath
then a sigh
I might have guessed
that I'd wake up in time
another face beneath the clay
the same old taste of swallowed bait
one never knows her next home
and she never stays very long in the same place
a sudden feeling
it's not really her
and it makes no difference what I try to tell myself
and the feeling
just sinks in deeper
and it makes no difference what I try to tell myself
half-asleep I half plead
before we kiss
promise me this
never wither, never fade
never wither, never fade
a sudden feeling
it's not really her
and it makes no difference what I try to tell myself
and the feeling
just sinks in deeper
and it makes no difference what I try to tell myself
you reach a certain point
when it's all just so cold
so you try to close your eyes
and pretend that you're blind
moon beyond the cloud
star above the storm
she flits from shell to shell
and you never know
she flits from shell to shell
and you just never know
a sudden feeling...
