The Legendary Pink Dots - Stitching Time lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Stitching Time lyrics]
I shaved off my hair cos I found it amusing
I faked my despair in the beautiful ruins
I wailed at the wall
Tossed a coin in the fountain
Now dry as the sand on a dead man's bones
High dive from a cloud
Take a roll down a mountain
I rise in a shroud and
I sleep when I'm counting
I shed my disguise when
There's nobody looking
The whites of your eyes are all mine alone
And I'm written in stone i'm
The dust on your carpet
A guest in your home because
That's where the heart is
Try and fly on the wind
Though you'll find I'm the fastest
I'm always let in, but I dine alone
Rest assured I'll survive though I'll
Thrive on your danger
I'll arrive as your friend but
I'll leave as the stranger
I'm open for bribes, in the end I will wager
You've nothing to buy but some time alone
The rules of the game are
All mine for the making
You'll cheat all the same but
You're mine for the taking
There's no special favours
And no-one forsaken
I live for you all, but I'll die alone
I faked my despair in the beautiful ruins
I wailed at the wall
Tossed a coin in the fountain
Now dry as the sand on a dead man's bones
High dive from a cloud
Take a roll down a mountain
I rise in a shroud and
I sleep when I'm counting
I shed my disguise when
There's nobody looking
The whites of your eyes are all mine alone
And I'm written in stone i'm
The dust on your carpet
A guest in your home because
That's where the heart is
Try and fly on the wind
Though you'll find I'm the fastest
I'm always let in, but I dine alone
Rest assured I'll survive though I'll
Thrive on your danger
I'll arrive as your friend but
I'll leave as the stranger
I'm open for bribes, in the end I will wager
You've nothing to buy but some time alone
The rules of the game are
All mine for the making
You'll cheat all the same but
You're mine for the taking
There's no special favours
And no-one forsaken
I live for you all, but I'll die alone
