The Fatima Mansions - Look What I Stole For Us, Darling lyrics
[The Fatima Mansions - Look What I Stole For Us, Darling lyrics]
(I'm) Attacking the ones who
Are weakest of all
On their dim walk to work with
Their eyes slit so small
For the dawn and the path
And their shekels of mine
Fortune won't smile, I must be brutal or die
Now I live by the railway with
The rest of the coven
In a hovel vibrating lit by tandoori ovens
Where we keep the ransomees
We get raided on Fridays
We get drunk when they leave us
We discuss ways to die
Ways we could have gone wrong
We don't mention the now
We can see no way out
We draw skulls on the walls
We draw blood from our balls
We play catch with the rats
(Still) the silence won't crack though
We heave and we hack
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling!
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling! Maybe we're dead, I forgot
They're hunting us, so maybe not
Oh, let us mention her torso: heat
Electrical chaos
If it burst she would die, oh, oh, oh
Wasn't it kind of her to let me in?
Will it get fat when it's older
Get all riddled with cancer
While she stays the same person
Who is fucking me now?
See the view from above of the sofa of love
With the roof cut away
Cars and people out there
And the stains spreading out and out
Blood running cold
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling!
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling!
We used to be human beings not anymore!
I'll have her washed and brought to you
So you, my wife, can know her, too!
Are weakest of all
On their dim walk to work with
Their eyes slit so small
For the dawn and the path
And their shekels of mine
Fortune won't smile, I must be brutal or die
Now I live by the railway with
The rest of the coven
In a hovel vibrating lit by tandoori ovens
Where we keep the ransomees
We get raided on Fridays
We get drunk when they leave us
We discuss ways to die
Ways we could have gone wrong
We don't mention the now
We can see no way out
We draw skulls on the walls
We draw blood from our balls
We play catch with the rats
(Still) the silence won't crack though
We heave and we hack
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling!
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling! Maybe we're dead, I forgot
They're hunting us, so maybe not
Oh, let us mention her torso: heat
Electrical chaos
If it burst she would die, oh, oh, oh
Wasn't it kind of her to let me in?
Will it get fat when it's older
Get all riddled with cancer
While she stays the same person
Who is fucking me now?
See the view from above of the sofa of love
With the roof cut away
Cars and people out there
And the stains spreading out and out
Blood running cold
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling!
Look what I stole! Look what I stole for us
Darling!
We used to be human beings not anymore!
I'll have her washed and brought to you
So you, my wife, can know her, too!
