Sit down my love of all good spaces
and breathe my love let's all be spent
i'm going to tell you both a story
about some memories that i dreamt
see i've lost love in many places
not least the streets of san paolo
and friends especially, i didn't make them
a ten floor window to her home
sometimes i could cry for miles
but i don't
so hush the shadows in the oak tree
be still you curl upon the moor
my heart has fallen upon the wayside
i cannot claim her anymore
so don your duffel coats quite slowly
and this sad jury has ajurned
while on the streets of old san paolo
i watch my baby being burned
sometimes i could cry for miles
but i don't
sometimes i could cry ah sometimes
drop my bags and run for miles
and sometimes i could live my life
but i wont, but i won't
have you ever been thrown across the water
till there's no skin left on your bones
thrown across water like a stone
get me a doctor
who will get rid of my bones
get me a lover
get me a lover
who will leave my head alone
get me a soldier
get me a soldier
who will fight me poison? this war
get me an exit
i need an exit
i need a window or a door
thrown across water like a stone
get me a lawyer
get me a lawyer
who will sue the world for me
get me a person
who isn't me
cuz i'm getting tired
i'm getting tired
of my stupid little face
cuz i don't belong here
i don't belong here
don't belong in this horse race
thrown across water
thrown across water
thrown across water
like a stone
