lyrics

Leatherette couch and weather girl stare.
And the TV on and the week old air.
Fall into the crack, sink my head back.
Red wine soaked afternoon.
Kleenex there to catch the world in the hands of god.
Coloured like pearl. Fast food. Soft drink.
Too much time. No job, no girlfriend but no crime.

I keep slipping.
I don't know why I let it happen.
Take another breath, suck it in.
Think red - I can.

Lava lamp green and the world going by.
Magazine open to Miss July.
Stiff drink. Shag pile and TV guide.
My phone goes to voicemail.
Idle hands doing the devil's work.
Lara Croft comes to a stop with a sudden jerk.
Karma coming through the venetian blind.
The sound of one hand clapping, at least it clears the mind.

Cigarette smoke and the will to live.
So little talent. So much to give.
Sink back. Screen black. Remote control.
Old habits send me blind.
Sisters Of Mercy on the radio.
After a shower, half an hour and we're ready to go.
Not quite bent, just a little twisted.
No skill required, it's all in the wrist.

If I loved me, I'd swallow that.
