swallow, smile

Singer:franz ferdinand

i rise and curse the waking day

curse the grime and curse the stains on the air and on the skin of the bed i'm tied within. hiding from the twitch and crash

of the mood i hear you hatch. you're the mother growing cold - you're the bath now running old. i can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene

as i push the door aside - swallow

swallow

swallow

smile. i wander round the gulf between us

wonder how i came to feel as fragile as a broken bone

as useless - i'm a broken bone. come on let's fight let's feel alive. come on let's fight let's feel alive - it's the only feeling i've kept towards you that resembles any passion

any tremble

any word

i'll take and turn it

twist and pissed-on

i'll return it. give me more

give me

i'll swallow

swallow

swallow

smile

but it's alright

i lie. it's alright

here's another lie.
