lyrics

Blind me, blur my vision
I see too clear
Just for a little while
let me drown

Let me swim, in warm pretty lights
let me breathe in, warm clouds of smoke
and swirl and twirl, like that pretty girl

Up there, up there from here
her blond hair, her blond hair looks pink
Just for, a little while, I could drown....

In warm brown ale
I sink my head and try to swim
But I could never drown
In your head

Talking backwards in garbled words
Her pretty little voice splits me in two
I wish I wish I wish for more
but get drunk instead
silently screaming
silently screaming
I'm silently dreaming

Hold me, grip me tight
I might fly
Your hand, steers me straight, I always crash
Oh, wind that lasso cowboy,
Your needs and wants are smacking through me
like a whip
She's dancing, she's flying, My God am I sinking
She's dancing, she's flying.....My God!

I pick myself up, I am swimming off the beer stained floor,
someone's drowning
I lick your boots with the tip of my tongue

He parades, the trophy around, he's wrapped in red red ribbons
While she slides pretty pinkness, beneath your coat
I follow, with pretty blind eyes
She wants you, but I don't mind....
I want ....
