Nights Introlude Lyrics - Smokers Delight - Nightmares On Wax

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 disappears 

Now it just gets worse, like my stomach will 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 sitting with dread, breaking my heart 

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

And 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 whose dick is always hard 

Oh god, of course I'm jealous, fellows 

Oversexed flexing his pecs 

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 twelve-fifty-three 

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
