[Verse 1]

We trudged down from the undergrowth

Along the open road

We knew our own way home

We knew our own way home

At that flattened, twisted junction

I have chosen heavy loads

The unlucky ones, they know

The unlucky ones, they know

[Chorus]

There’s no disguise for this

Why do I try to hide

The workings of, the amblings of

A toppled mind?

Will this continue to the next thing?

Did it follow from the last?

I can’t remember how

I can’t remember how

[Verse 2]

A passer by was staring deep

Into your open skirt

As we lay there in the dirt

As we lay there in the dirt

Should we make ourselves do painful things?

And do they really hurt?

Do they really hurt?

Do they really hurt?

[Chorus]

There’s no disguise for this

Why do I try to hide

The workings of, the amblings of

A toppled mind?

Will this continue to the next thing?

Did it follow from the last?

I can’t remember how

I can’t remember how

[Verse 3]

You pushed me down into the crack

Of that ruptured edifice

And trod my leaking limbs down flat

Saying, “Nothing will stand proud of this”

And no, I don't have a routine

Or at least not one like you mean

And I say I can’t get to sleep

But I’ll lose myself in those filthy sheets
