lyrics

Oh that one dreadful moment
When it all becomes clear
Some little demon just whispers in your ear
Now you know and you knew
That it had to come true
You just did not think it would happen to you
A self fulfilled prophecy
Un fait accompli
I just didn't think it would happen to me

I stare at my hands
My back's cold on the wall
And I remain strangely calm
In the midst of it all

I never thought
It would come down to this
One anxious hour
One drunken kiss
No one looks right
And no one is left
You can't call it a crime
Just a minor theft
You can beat it down
You can throw it away
But you know in your heart
That the thing's here to stay

I stare at my hands
My back's cold on the wall
And I remain strangely calm
In the midst of it all

It feels like bad acid
Yeah I'm out of my mind
I just did not think that you were that kind
One small omission
One tiny lie
A ball of confusion
A tear stained goodbye
I bring out the whips
And I drag out the chains
But I find myself singing
The same sad refrain

Don't worry baby
You know you'll get yours
It's something that's destined
A matter of course
Now I don't return calls
And I keep the door locked
And I don't want to hear
Opportunity knock
Breathe in, breathe out
I believe that's how it's done
If I stand up to go
I'm afraid that I'll run

I stare at my hands
My back's cold on the wall
And I remain strangely calm
In the midst of it all
