David Keenan - Tonight I Want To Lie With Someone Who Doesn’t Care lyrics
[David Keenan - Tonight I Want To Lie With Someone Who Doesn’t Care lyrics]
I entered a room filled with elbows and knees
A lantern was hanging by
A Surrealist painting
I opened my mouth shrapnel
Sailed through the air
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
If my laces are tied or my background is poor
Is this too much to ask?
Take this lock of my hair and
Lead me to a lover
Of the creosote stained stare
Her skin was the color of an Italian summer
Her eyes carried sadness and
Hope in equal measure
Her head of tangled curls
Remained untouched by chemicals
An ancestral trait that made her mother proud
She said she lived by the ocean
But she longed for other fields
For other streets and other alleys
Where more crimes are committed
She commented on my lips
Then we slowly undressed
And I called upon the Nine Sisters
While she called out my name
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
If my laces are tied or my background is poor
Is this too much to ask?
You take this lock of my hair
And lead me to a lover
Of the creosote stained stare
At her naked
I sit staring on the edge of the bed
Come back down to me, boy
For my feet are getting cold
Though your mind be a hive
Your beige body needs it's rest
I just sucked on a cigarette like
A child on a breast
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
If my laces are tied
Or my background is poor
Is this too much to ask?
You take this lock of my hair
Won’t you lead me to a lover
Of the creosote stained stare?
A lantern was hanging by
A Surrealist painting
I opened my mouth shrapnel
Sailed through the air
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
If my laces are tied or my background is poor
Is this too much to ask?
Take this lock of my hair and
Lead me to a lover
Of the creosote stained stare
Her skin was the color of an Italian summer
Her eyes carried sadness and
Hope in equal measure
Her head of tangled curls
Remained untouched by chemicals
An ancestral trait that made her mother proud
She said she lived by the ocean
But she longed for other fields
For other streets and other alleys
Where more crimes are committed
She commented on my lips
Then we slowly undressed
And I called upon the Nine Sisters
While she called out my name
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
If my laces are tied or my background is poor
Is this too much to ask?
You take this lock of my hair
And lead me to a lover
Of the creosote stained stare
At her naked
I sit staring on the edge of the bed
Come back down to me, boy
For my feet are getting cold
Though your mind be a hive
Your beige body needs it's rest
I just sucked on a cigarette like
A child on a breast
Tonight, I want to lie with
Someone who doesn’t care
If my laces are tied
Or my background is poor
Is this too much to ask?
You take this lock of my hair
Won’t you lead me to a lover
Of the creosote stained stare?
