lyrics

So this is how stability looks
It's more exciting than I thought
Do you normally need those mines?
Tied around your ankles
Will they keep you upright?
Will they keep you afloat?
Do you like how the ropes feel?
The feel of certainty

Small black tube
Furry black cloth
Socks on the table
Loose little rabbit

Tear it down and tear it open there's a chain around your neck
and tear it down to feel the softest joy upon your feather bed
Tear it down and tear it open there's a chain around your neck
and tear it down to feel the softest joy upon your feather bed

Have some faith tell us what to think
Grow that little beard out
Paint your face and hide your tears
Roll the tongue down
Run the sandpaper across your knuckles
Touch it to your cheeks
Make your statement of intent
A kitten in the sauna

You will not take what you came for
You cannot rob me of my rights
Silken fingers spreading rumours
Weave your tapestry of intrigue

Take the velvet and the leather off your seat
Take the velvet and the leather off your seat
Take the velvet and the leather off your seat
Take the velvet and the leather off your seat
Take the velvet and the leather off your seat
Take the velvet and the leather off your seat


The sun came up this morning
Our enemies fall upon their swords
I'll drive a stake right through your chest
Twist it until you squeal
Jam sandwiches
Strawberry tart
Cough syrup for children
Where on earth to start?
You smell like a cat that's been in the rain
Wash yourself with your lips
Take readings from the book of the dead
Find your bearings
Salute the ghosts of christmas past
Bow to the rising tide
Put a ribbon in your hair
Something to hold on to

Tear it down and tear it open there's a chain around your neck
and tear it down to feel the softest joy upon your feather bed

So what are you going to do today?
So what are you going to do today?

Make your last decision
Take off your armour
Light the end of the string
See the child on the swing
A creature wriggles in your stomach
Out comes the moon
