Mornings like this I feel like leaving

Although I'd have to hollow out my heart

Like scraping out the insides of a pumpkin

Paint a twisted face and carve it out

Paint a twisted face and carve it out

Dress it up like someone elses nightmare

A candle flickering alive inside

And now I keep a??

So?? are afraid to go inside

So?? are afraid to go

inside

I've tried hard, oh darling

to keep the balance true

but it's not me, it's you

who's kicking us back and forth like this

Cold nights like this I feel like staying

In the comfort of the darkness of my cave

There's something there for every little daydream

I spark the flickers up and it turns to flames

I spark the flickers up and it turns to flames

If you wanna fight me there then fight me

And we can walk ten paces and terms

But if you want me dead

you'll just have to soup me through

Cause I would rather die than see your pain

I would rather die than see your pain

I've tried hard, oh darling

to keep the balance true

but it's not me, it's you

who's kicking us back and forth like this

tripping us back and forth like this

slipping us back and forth like this

kicking us back and forth like this

With the bills and the calls and the thrills

I've seen it all through the night and back again

With the bills and the calls and the thrills

I've seen it all through the night and back again

Through the night and back again

Mornings like this I feel like leaving

Although I'd have to pick up at my brain

Like a flack upon a scarecrow

If he could raise his arms and fly away

If he could raise his voice then fly

away

I've tried hard, oh darling

to keep the balance true

but it's not me, it's you

who's kicking us back and forth like this

I've tried hard, oh darling

to keep the balance true

but it's not me, it's you

who's kicking us back and forth like this

tripping us back and forth like this

slipping us back and forth like this

kicking us back and forth like this

With the bills and the calls and the thrills

I've seen it all through the night and back again

The bills and the falls and the kills

I've seen it all through the night and back again

Through the night and back again
