The Jezabels - Hurt Me lyrics
[The Jezabels - Hurt Me lyrics]
Oh my love is that a vulture?
Don't tell me it's a vulture
Standing beside you, oh
And do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like I do? Oh
It used to be that
When you said you believed it
I would believe it too it used to be that
When you said you were leaving
I'd want to follow you
But never where the dogs bark
Never where the dogs barking, oh
And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around
Maybe pat me on the back when you're able
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
When the shadow of the moon won't do?
Cause on you, the moon is but a pearl
Stolen from your mother's bedside
The day you came into the world
And still now I can hear the dogs
Bark, I can hear the dogs barking, oh
And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around
Maybe pat me on the back when you're able
Whole cities light up
But nothing can compare to you, baby
So I stay waiting laying on the dinner table
Waiting for you to hurt me
Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
Come on down to the world
Hurt me, come on, Abel, cut me, cut me
Serve me 'round the table
And now it's laying on the table
Waiting for you on the table
To carve it up and watch the
Spray go across the riverbed
And sweet aromas fill the halls
From all the bodies that came before
And that's the body, I swear that's the body
I remember, it was laying on the dinner table
And when you came around
Said you'll be doing fine when you're able
Oh whole cities light up
But nothing can compare to you, baby
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
Cut me, cut me, serve me
Don't tell me it's a vulture
Standing beside you, oh
And do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like I do? Oh
It used to be that
When you said you believed it
I would believe it too it used to be that
When you said you were leaving
I'd want to follow you
But never where the dogs bark
Never where the dogs barking, oh
And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around
Maybe pat me on the back when you're able
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
When the shadow of the moon won't do?
Cause on you, the moon is but a pearl
Stolen from your mother's bedside
The day you came into the world
And still now I can hear the dogs
Bark, I can hear the dogs barking, oh
And I remember praying at the dinner table
For you to come around
Maybe pat me on the back when you're able
Whole cities light up
But nothing can compare to you, baby
So I stay waiting laying on the dinner table
Waiting for you to hurt me
Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
Come on down to the world
Hurt me, come on, Abel, cut me, cut me
Serve me 'round the table
And now it's laying on the table
Waiting for you on the table
To carve it up and watch the
Spray go across the riverbed
And sweet aromas fill the halls
From all the bodies that came before
And that's the body, I swear that's the body
I remember, it was laying on the dinner table
And when you came around
Said you'll be doing fine when you're able
Oh whole cities light up
But nothing can compare to you, baby
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
Cut me, cut me, serve me
