The Failure of Love is a Brick Wall (You Prayed for Me to Hit It)
The failure of love is like a brick wall
You prayed for me to hit it
Said you’d like to see me fall
That’s like a lesson you’d give to a kitten

So quiet now and lonely
So quiet now

You thought you’d be the girl Rimbaud
Your voice was full of longing
The clubs you played died years ago
Now you only sing for children

No one can turn the old clocks back
They closed us down, they killed our act
We’re not the same

Life full of farewells…

Failure came and took your hand
You always meant to miss it
But someone likes to see you fall
It’s like a lesson you give to a kitten

You’re so tired now
You’re so tired now
So tired

No one can turn the old clocks back
They closed us down, they killed our act
We’re not the same
I’m not the same

They closed us down, they killed our act
