[Verse 1]

And I don't know how it goes

I've found another way though

Tells us all it knows

I've finally caught a deal


[Pre-Chorus]

Your face above fades out all the reels

Your face above fazes all there is


[Chorus]

Uh, oh, there's a spot in my eye

Uh, oh, there's a pill I have missed


[Verse 2]

The cloves of garlic flow

Like surfing down Pompeii

I'm messing up your show

You really should have guessed


[Pre-Chorus]

Your face above, the only spark I need

Your face above

If I could reach your throat


[Chorus]

Uh, oh, I could strangle you all

Uh, oh, did I say that out loud?


[Bridge]

Although it passed the mail

It blew a fuse and bailed

It's too blue to be ours

And though it passed as red

It's too far off and best guess

Has it soaked at home


[Chorus]

Uh, oh, there's a spot in my eye

Uh, oh, there's a pill I have missed


[Verse 3]

And this little red book knows

It's become my every day

I've taped over your show

You really should have guessed


[Pre-Chorus]

Your face above, the only spark I need

Your face above

If I could reach your throat


[Chorus]

Uh, oh, I could strangle you all

Uh, oh, did I say that out loud?


[Bridge]

And though the text was fed

Too obvious, they said

And moved it underground

Between the lines they met

Like sulphur burns they spread

Too angry to go out


[Outro]

Light my heart

Make me burn out

Like your name
