[The Cure - Open lyrics]
I really don't know what I'm doing here
I really think I should've
Gone to bed tonight
But just one drink and there are
Some people to meet you
I think that you'll like them, I have to say
We do tonight
I promise in less than an hour
We will honestly go
Now why don't I just get you another
While you just say hello
Yeah, just say hello, just say hello
So I'm clutching it tight
Another glass in my hand
And my mouth and the smiles
Moving up as I stand up
Too close and too wide
And the smiles are too bright
And I breathe in too deep
And my head's getting light
But the air is getting
Heavier and it's closer i'm starting to sway
And the hands all on my
Shoulders don't have names and won't go away
So here I go here I go again
Falling into strangers
And it's only just eleven
I'm staring like a child
Until someone slips me Heaven
Take it on my knees
Just like a thousand times before
I get transfixed that fixed
And I'm just looking at the floor
Just looking at the floor
Yeah, I look at the floor
I'm starting to laugh like an animal in pain
I've got blood on my hands
I've got hands in my brain
The first shot of retch
Leaves me gasping for more
I stagger over screaming
On my way to the floor i'm back on my back
With the lights and the lies in my eyes
And the color and the music's too loud
And my head's all the wrong size
Yeah, I laugh and I jump
And I sing and I laugh
And I dance and I laugh
And I laugh and I laugh
And I can't seem to think where this is
Who I am why I'm keeping this going
Keep pouring it out keep pouring it down
Keeping it going keep pouring it down
And the way the rain comes down hard
That's the way I feel inside
I can't take it anymore this it I've become
This is it like I get
When my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say, "I'm loving you to death
Like I'm losing my breath"
And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
And I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And all the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart, oh
I feel so tired
And the rain comes down hard
That's how I feel inside
I really think I should've
Gone to bed tonight
But just one drink and there are
Some people to meet you
I think that you'll like them, I have to say
We do tonight
I promise in less than an hour
We will honestly go
Now why don't I just get you another
While you just say hello
Yeah, just say hello, just say hello
So I'm clutching it tight
Another glass in my hand
And my mouth and the smiles
Moving up as I stand up
Too close and too wide
And the smiles are too bright
And I breathe in too deep
And my head's getting light
But the air is getting
Heavier and it's closer i'm starting to sway
And the hands all on my
Shoulders don't have names and won't go away
So here I go here I go again
Falling into strangers
And it's only just eleven
I'm staring like a child
Until someone slips me Heaven
Take it on my knees
Just like a thousand times before
I get transfixed that fixed
And I'm just looking at the floor
Just looking at the floor
Yeah, I look at the floor
I'm starting to laugh like an animal in pain
I've got blood on my hands
I've got hands in my brain
The first shot of retch
Leaves me gasping for more

On my way to the floor i'm back on my back

And I sing and I laugh
And I dance and I laugh
And I laugh and I laugh
And I can't seem to think where this is

Keeping it going keep pouring it down
