Direct Lyrics by Thumpermonkey

Sleep Furiously

2013

[Verse 1]
I wake up, on the floor, by the crystallising meat
Try to stand but I fall, thrash about, knock the pretzels over
Blue-eyed children, (ablaze like Eugenics Endemol©)
Beam at me from the socks, and I start to cry out: "tell me what am I looking for?"
Shopping list in my hand, but the products are occult
Maybe sweat, maybe tears, makes the writing indecipherable
But I did not blackout, it's just my attention span
I'm appalled, I'm in slacks and I start to cry out "tell me what am I looking for?"
So they take me outside. It feels like each one of us
Just breaks out to break in, and we never look back again

[Pre-Chorus]
If it takes more effort to explain than it does to say then be quiet
Who'd have thought when you climbed to the top of the mountain that you'd find a swamp
If you want to know terror, take a holiday
It's on an empty stomach
I'm not responsible
I'm not responsible

[Chorus]
Thank god I don't have the words for this
I can't tell you what colour it is
Can't pick out its shape out in a Rorschach so pass it on, pass it on, pass it on
Thank god I don't have the words for this
I can't tell you what colour it is
Can't pick out its shape out in a Rorschach again

[Verse 2]
Today I saw a sign on the Regent's Canal
And it said 'if you see a man without a smile give him yours';
Why would I wanna do that?

[Bridge]
If you see a man without a smile then give him yours
Are you havin' a bubble?
This underwritten grin is the only thing that keeps my teeth apart;
Stops them clamping down on your fingers

[Chorus]
(Thank god I don't have the words for this
I can't tell you what colour it is
Can't pick out its shape out in a Rorschach so pass it on, pass it on, pass it on)

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't tell you what colour this is
I'll erode a smile right into the bone
And as long as I live I'll never learn to say anything direct at all
You'll have to prise it from my cold dead face
'Cause it's mine. I worked hard. I worked hard for this
If you want to know terror, take a holiday
It's on empty stomach
I'm not responsible
I'm not responsible

[Chorus]
Thank god I don't have the words for this
I can't tell you what colour it is
Can't pick out its shape out in a Rorschach so pass it on, pass it on, pass it on
Thank god I don't have the words for this
I can't tell you what colour it is
Can't pick out its shape out in a Rorschach again
Thank god I don't have the words for this
I can't tell you what colour it is
Can't pick out its shape out in a Rorschach again
