Were deep in her diary now
A month for every kiss
And this passion-in-hours amounts
To little more than this
She keeps wisteria
I keep forgetting to die
We keep on getting there
Sickly thug and i
She keeps a distance
I keep forgetting to die
Well keep on getting there
Sickly thug and me
She keeps wisteria
I keep turning to lapis lazuli
A pistol whipping wind
Sickly thug and me
Our hearts fire blanks
Over the marshes
The river lee
Was there anything
Really moving in the news tonight?
If theres no hope for us
Therell be no respite
Just a drop or two
From a bottle of the widows mite
Well keep on getting there
Ill just happen to you
Well be back from somewhere else
Well never get to
Over here may be bad
Realissimo bad
But that nameless other place
Its far far worse
Im an innocent
I never resisted
Alcohol and coloured beads
Broken sunshine swells
The length of waltham beach
And nothing ever changes
And nothing ever lasts for long
It just stays out of reach
This feelings mutual
For sickly thug and me
This feelings mutual now
But so separately
Were burning up
Were collapsing into probability
And theres no hope for us
And theres no respite
Just a drop or two
From a bottle of the widows mite
