Killer`s lullaby lyrics

Artist  : Faithless 
Song : Killer`s lullaby
 
I`m sittin` at a coffee table, unable to see
straight  
Watchin` parallel lines unwind and undulate  
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene`s
bleak  
Another train leavin` home,  
conceding defeat with a low moan  
Hangin` in A sky, made of stone  
Everybody`s leavin` home, I called my man Jerome 

To come meet me in the twilight zone  
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone  
I bought him coffee and a snack,  
settled back, started speakin`  
He was tweakin` with the peak of his cap  
While I`m seekin` to discover what it takes to
stay sober  
Not cover my mistakes,  
try to maybe make sense of the evidence  
It`s over, she`s gone for good  
Why should I lie, singin` a killer`s lullaby  
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye  
The last thing you hear before your life
disappear  
 
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach `ll
burst,  
feel like I`ve been cursed.  
With seven centuries of bitter memories  
And inadequacies, previous he`s and she`s  
I`m movin` round this old house for the last time
 
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes 

Hearin` the chimes of the old clock that used to
mock  
You got eternity for takin` stock,  
this place is like a padlock  
You look shocked.  
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,  
There`s just us and I`m here to torment and tease
 
And that`s how it was for centuries  
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys  
Took the couple of Saturdays  
I moved in runnin` from tragedies and boozing  
Seven hundred years since I came here  
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare  
I couldn`t get near,  
And the sheer frustration was more than I could
bear  
I was really cursed, thought I`d been through the
worst part  
That was just the first part, just the start  
Every night I`d be sitting with dread, breaking
my heart  
In case the man she`d been chasin` gets to first
base  
And I just can`t escape, I`m in bad shape  
You making love to someone else is more than I
can take  
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail 

Scream and yell, sinkin` deeper into my personal
hell  
 
I`m getting heated, I`m sorry, have another
coffee  
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a
piece of this pressure  
Unless an escape route is found,  
I`m going down underground  
Into lifetimes of pain, it`s absurd  
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of
one word  
So I`m referred back to hell, huh  
Just as well, I hate needles an` get twinges at
the thought  
of syringes  
 
J (as in Jerome), I`m going insane with shame  
I dream and watch her makin` love over and over
again  
With what I call a farmer`s swain  
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who`s dick is
always hard  
Oh God, of course I`m jealous, fellows,  
oversexed flexing his pec`s  
Jesus, what`s he going make her do next?  
I`m mad vex, the way she gently scratches his
chest  
You used to do that to me back in 1253  
Pity me, while you lie with your lover  
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle
his hair  
Unaware of who else is there  
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last
time  
You know it`s possible to vaguely define my
outline  
When dust move in the sunshine  
So I`m tryin` to change, vibrate myself to
near-human pitch  
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched  
And switch `round the house in a blind rage  
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the
key to this  
cage  
And write another stage into a new age,  
it`s difficult to gauge  
But I know that I`ll see you again, on that you
may depend  
I just don`t know how or when  
Sleep on, my lost love on gone  
 
Jerome took me home under steel skies  
Knowing I`m prone to dramatize but unknown for
telling lies  
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes  
The why oh why`s that identify killer lullabies  
And he surmised  
No surprise couldn`t hear that  
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM
home again  
Not knowing how and not knowing when.
