The Smith Street Band - The Belly of Your Bedroom lyrics

Our hero sit's unsteadily on
A highway rocking chair
Bottle of white wine
The wind it ruffles his well-cut hair
And our eyes they focus backwards to
The people that he needs
They hold my instruments and my back-ups
In shirts with cut-off sleeves
She told me that she kissed you
And then she told me more
Our hero knows I'm angry and he
Knows that I'm a bore
I'm sad when it is raining
When the sun comes I'm a freak
Our hero lives in mild temperatures
And gets eight hours sleep

And I know that I'm a liar and
I know that I can't fill your
Desires With a body that's always going to
Let the both of us down
Half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never
Should have told you
My demise is only going to let one of us down
And darling I'm going

My back it aches for transport
I can hardly feel my feet
My stitches are slowly but surely
Falling out of me
I know I'm not exciting but
I never claimed to be
And I live for this morning and I
Will live and let you leave
I don't understand why we have to
Be on standby while you're overseas
Can't you be free and still know me?
And our hero keeps a secret locked
Up somewhere in his teeth
Maybe I'll break one or two
Just to hear him speak

And I know that I'm a liar and
I know that I can't fill your
Desires With a body that's always going to
Let the both of us down
Half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never
Should have told you
My demise is only going to let one of us down
And darling I'm going

And darling I'm going to find
Somewhere for us to sleep
And darling I'm going to work on
Every single inch of me
And darling I'm going to find
Somewhere for us to sleep
And darling I'm going to keep on living
To keep on living and keep on keeping on

And I know that I'm a liar and
I know that I can't fill your
Desires With a body that's always going to
Let the both of us down
Half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never
Should have told you
My demise is only going to let one of us down
And darling I'm going down
