|
Walking with you through the courtyard |
|
Where everything is marble and smooth |
|
You said the idea of perfection |
|
Was just fundamentally cruel |
|
And talked about joining the circus |
|
And trading your face for a mask |
|
Oh I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you can |
|
We made quite a pair in the morning |
|
We both tend to traffic in dreams |
|
Seeing it now from the outside |
|
You kept all your dark ones from me |
|
And said you plan to go rambling |
|
As you sat on that big window sill |
|
Oh I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you will |
|
You long to go hide in the bramble |
|
Or fall off the face of the earth |
|
You wish you could live with the beggars |
|
On the steps of some crumbling church |
|
You say you'd like to go hungry |
|
But the truth is you just had your fill |
|
Oh I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you will |
|
On Sundays you stroll through the market |
|
And feel like you traveled through time |
|
Buying back all your possessions |
|
That were stolen from some former life |
|
Return to me tied in a corset |
|
To say "don't you know who I am?" |
|
Oh I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you can |
|
Yes I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you can |
|
And trying to make an invention |
|
Something the worlds never seen |
|
To sweep away all of the trouble |
|
And leave the place shiny and clean |
|
Patent your brave new creation |
|
And hold it right there in your hand |
|
Oh I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you can |
|
I waited for you at the landing |
|
The water was crystal and calm |
|
All these ideas of forever |
|
Are just fundamentally wrong |
|
You say that your love makes you honest |
|
Then you're caught with your hand in the till |
|
Oh I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you will |
|
Yes I know you, want to |
|
I just don't believe that you will |
