Do I look different?
I’ve used another soap.
And it’s unfastened
The pressure from the tap
Is running cold.
And it’s your birthday
That’s fallen on the roof.
I spilt your drink,
Manipulated
On the pile of coats and shoes.
Thrashing dogs held in a cage,
And arms stretched out on rollerblades.
Slow motion picture memories,
Have started eating Nathalie.
So, now you like me
It locks from the inside.
A heavyweight escaped,
And climbed down from
The ladder in your tights.
And from the chimneys,
We shouted at the moon.
It started swelling,
You know that fractured buds
Will never bloom.
And I’ve known heroes,
With bloodstains on their jeans.
Perhaps pathetic,
I’m addicted to the way
You talk to me.
Thrashing dogs held in a cage,
And arms stretched out on rollerblades.
These all-consuming memories,
Have you heard from Nathalie?
Thrashing dogs held in a cage,
And arms stretched out on rollerblades.
Slow motion picture memories,
Have started eating Nathalie.
Slow motion picture memories,
Have you heard from Nathalie?
These all-consuming memories,
Have started eating Nathalie.
