Obstacle 1 (Black Session) Lyrics by Interpol

The Black EP

2003

[Verse 1]
I wish I could eat the salt off your last faded lips
We can cap the old times make playing only logical harm
We can cap the old lines plain that nothing else will change
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
She can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
Oh, she's bad

[Chorus]
But it's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never see this face again
You go stabbing yourself in the neck

[Verse 2]
We can find new ways of living make playing only logical harm
And we can top the old times, clay-making that nothing else will change
But she can read, she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
She can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
Oh, she's bad

[Chorus]
But it's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never see this face again
You go stabbing yourself in the neck
But it's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never see this face again
You go stabbing yourself in the neck

[Bridge]
It's in the way that she posed
It's in the things that she puts in my head
Her stories are boring and stuff
She's always calling my bluff
She puts the, she puts the weights into my little heart
And she gets in my room and she takes it apart
She puts the weights into my little heart
I said she puts the weights into my little heart

[Refrain]
She packs it away
She packs it away
She packs it away
She packs it away
She packs it away
She packs it away
She packs it away
She packs it away

[Outro]
It's in the way that she walks
Her heaven is never enough
She puts the weights in my heart
She puts, oh, she puts the weights into my little heart
