Selene Lyrics by Carpet

About Rooms and Elephants

2018

[Verse 1]
Trust me with a secret you can't keep
A pat on my shoulder when I left the show
Is it raining there – not a drop to see
A cigarette break instead of front row

[Chorus]
You've got to be kidding
I should be singing
Of a warm handshake from a cold, cold imbecile
You've got to be kidding
In my head kept ringing
A warm handshake from a cold, cold imbecile

[Post-Chorus]
You're not supposed to be
That kind of mystery to me
You're not supposed to be
That kind of mystery to me

[Bridge]
Strange eyes may bewilder you
How it would suit you
Beware of future hits and sparks
That will come for you

You’ve never guessed, it broke me like this
And “all the best” should feel like a kiss
It’s not supposed to be
You’ve never guessed, I told you like this
And all the rest you could have missed
It’s not supposed to be

[Verse 2]
Take my pride and wish me well
Tires in tram rails and roots in hell
Do you get along with the burden you carry?
As long as you’re kind, as long as you’re happy

[Chorus]
You’ve got to be kidding
I should be singing
Of a warm handshake from a cold, cold imbecile
You’ve got to be kidding
In my head kept ringing
A warm handshake from a cold, cold imbecile

[Post-Chorus]
You’re not supposed to be
That kind of mystery to me
That kind of mystery to me
