The Grief Mistress Lyrics
I see my dawn in funny bloody colors They melt in innocence within my silver skies One color's love... but pain and death - the others


Someone's always on my tracks
In a dark room you see more than you think
I'm out of my place, got to get back
I sweated a lot, you could feel the violence



I've got shears pointed straight at my chest
And time moves slow when you count it
I'm better than them, and I think I'm the best
But I'll appear at midnight when the films close



Cause I'm in a trance
and I sweat
I don't want to dance
I want to go home.



I couldn't live in those peephole places
They might get to know my actions
I'd run away from toilets and faeces
I'd run away to a non-date on the street



Cause I'm in a trance
and I sweat
I don't want to dance
I want to go home.



I feel trapped by mutual affection
And I don't know how to use freedom
I spend hours looking sideways
to the time when I was sixteen



Cause I'm in a trance.



I'm frightened.
Amphetamine frightened



I go to the top of the street
I go to the bottom of the street
I look to the sky, my lips are dry....
