Lyrics

Poke at my iris
 Why can't I cry about this?
 Maybe there is something that you know that I don't
 We adopt a brand new language
 Communicate through pursed lips
 And you try not to put on any sexy clothes or graces
 I might never catch a mouse
 And present it in my mouth
 To make you feel you're with someone who deserves to be with you
 But there's one thing we've got going
 And it's the only thing worth knowing
 And it's got lots to do with magnets and the pull of the moon
 Why won't our love keel over, as it chokes on a bone?
 And we can mourn its passing
 And then bury it in snow
 Or should we kick its cunt in
 Watch as it dies from bleeding?
 If you don't want to be with me just say and I will go
 Oooh
 Well we can change our partners
 This is a progressive dance, but
 Remember it was me who dragged you up to the sweaty floor
 Well this has been a reel
 I've got shin-splints and a stitch from we
 But like a drunken night it's the best bits that are coloured in
 You should look through some old photos
 I adored you in every one of those
 If someone took a picture of us now, they'd need to be told
 That we had ever clung and tied
 A navy knot with arms at night
 I'd say she was his sister but she doesn't have his nose
 And now we're unrelated and rid of all the shit we hated
 But I hate it when I feel like this
 And I never hated you
 Oooh
