What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
2
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
3
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
4
Another train leavin' home,
5
conceding defeat with a low moan
6
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
7
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
8
To come meet me in the twilight zone
9
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
10
I bought him coffee and a snack,
11
settled back, started speakin'
12
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
13
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
14
Not cover my mistakes,
15
try to maybe make sense of the evidence
16
It's over, she's gone for good
17
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
18
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
19
The last thing you hear before your life disappear
20
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,
21
feel like I've been cursed.
22
With seven centuries of bitter memories
23
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
24
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
25
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
26
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
27
You got eternity for takin' stock,
28
this place is like a padlock
29
You look shocked.
30
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,
31
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
32
And that's how it was for centuries
33
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
34
Took the couple of Saturdays
35
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
36
Seven hundred years since I came here
37
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
38
I couldn't get near,
39
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
40
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
41
That was just the first part, just the start
42
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
43
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
44
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
45
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
46
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
47
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell
48
I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
49
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
50
Unless an escape route is found,
51
I'm going down underground
52
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
53
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
54
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
55
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
56
of syringes
57
J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
58
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
59
With what I call a farmer's swain
60
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
61
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows,
62
oversexed flexing his pec's
63
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
64
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
65
You used to do that to me back in 1253
66
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
67
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
68
Unaware of who else is there
69
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
70
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
71
When dust move in the sunshine
72
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
73
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
74
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
75
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
76
cage
77
And write another stage into a new age,
78
it's difficult to gauge
79
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
80
I just don't know how or when
81
Sleep on, my lost love on gone
82
Jerome took me home under steel skies
83
Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
84
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
85
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies
86
And he surmised
87
No surprise couldn't hear that
88
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
89
Not knowing how and not knowing when.
