Killer's Lullaby Lyrics - Faithless

I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight 

Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate 

Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak 

Another train leavin' home, 

conceding defeat with a low moan 

Hangin' in A sky, made of stone 

Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome 

To come meet me in the twilight zone 

Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone

I bought him coffee and a snack, 

settled back, started speakin' 

He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap 

While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober 

Not cover my mistakes, 

try to maybe make sense of the evidence 

It's over, she's gone for good 

Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby 

Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye 

The last thing you hear before your life disappear 

Photos 

Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst, 

feel like I've been cursed. 

With seven centuries of bitter memories 

And inadequacies, previous he's and she's 

I'm movin' round this old house for the last time 

Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes 

Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock 

You got eternity for takin' stock, 

this place is like a padlock 

You look shocked. 

Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust, 

There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease 

And that's how it was for centuries 

Me and my memories, till you brought the keys 

Took the couple of Saturdays 

I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing 

Seven hundred years since I came here 

You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare 

I couldn't get near, 

And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear 

I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part 

That was just the first part, just the start 

Every night I'd be sittin' with dread pickin' my heart 

In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base 

An' I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape 

You making love to someone else is more than I can take 

And so I make all the movement I can to no avail 

Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell 

I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee 

I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure 

Unless an escape route is found, 

I'm going down underground 

Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd 

The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word 

So I'm referred back to hell, huh 

Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought 

of syringes 

J, I'm going insane with shame 

I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again 

With what I call a farmer's swain 

Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard 

Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows, 

oversexed flexing his pec's 

Jesus, what's he going make her do next? 

I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest 

You used to do that to me back in 1253 

Pity me, while you lie with your lover 

I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair 

Unaware of who else is there 

I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time 

You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline 

When dust move in the sunshine 

So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch 

Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched 

And switch 'round the house in a blind rage 

It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this 

cage 

And write another stage into a new age, 

it's difficult to gauge 

But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend 

I just don't know how or when 

Sleep on, my lost love on gone 

Jerome took me home under steel skies 

Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies 

And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes 

The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies 

And he surmised 

No surprise couldn't hear that 

Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again 

Not knowing how and not knowing when.
