[Intro: Martina Topley-Bird]
Said it was our Babel
Said it was my Babel
It was my Babel
Tell our people
[Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird]
Now you know it's over
Rolling off her shoulder
You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget
Was it how she kissed you
And then dismissed you?
Was it purposeful and
Was it just to hook you in?
[Chorus 1: Martina Topley-Bird]
Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing
Breaking, hating till you lost it all
Well you lost your girlfriend
She was not going
Where you were going
You were on your own
[Verse 2: Martina Topley-Bird]
He was quick to burning
He was slow to learning
Though his eyes were misted
He still kissed her when she cried
You did your best to please her
You didn't up and leave her
You befriended the harsh way it ended, now sleep tight
[Chorus 2: Martina Topley-Bird]
Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing
Bracing, breaking if you was at all
Was it all you [?] to it
And lead you to me
[I would have craved the love?]
[Post-Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird]
Gonna be the one that should've said "truth" and not "dare"
I'm running so far out of my head
This rain of heart that ripples my day
