measure some x-rays, study a black hole
i can't justify this expenditure very much longer
[chorus]
time spent studying in harsh fluorescent light, from the roof of a building flys a lonely kite
soft music playing, a kettle on to boil, mise on place for a meal left to spoil
i'd like the patience to wait forever, but i like the thought of you fixed better
--
the dark walks home were always alone, we walked in silence, sodium lamps shone
down on me as i watched the little bugs, the ones that only come out at night
[chrous]
pray tell me now have you thought this through?
drastic measure for one as confused as you
[chorus]
blood was soaking through the pocket of my jeans, you took me home to get me clean
the sun was coming up and i was coming down, we stared at one another until i just couldn't take anymore
try as i might, i can't understand what makes you think you've got a plan to
end up where you want to be, unless of course it's not with me
[chorus]
a meal left to spoil
i can't tell you that i want you i can't tell you that i need you i can't tell you that i want you i can't tell you anything
i can't tell you that i want you i can't tell you that i need you i can't tell you anything because
now it's not true
