It's easy to get lost in your own subtle mysteries
As yet another draught becomes part of your history
Friday night might be spent narcisitically
But lips' sweet flavours divert attention blissfully
Another kiss and I'm back where I ought to be
Propping up the bar, gorgeous female creature next to me
Herds of launghing words graze my cheeks, prompting necessity
This recipe requires a crisp blue hundred for our revelry

That's when the news hit
Innocent titbit let slip from your loose lips
I felt the earth tip
Instant cooling of the blind fool between my hips
How could you have been here just the night before
When you swore you were at your mate's watching wickets fall?
While we were chasing, you were scoring far from the white ball
Jaw clenched, I feel anger thaw

Now you've escaped from your eyes
With every breath emphasised
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's easy to talk about love when you haven't loved helplessly"
A glow lights my face
See all your sins are erased
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's heaven to lie in your arms, but your heart is gonna strangle me"

The next fine Thursday finds us out at Melville's Star again
Me and my girl slide inside to take refuge from the rain
Knocking Bells down the drain, applying ice to the pain
But the cancer remains from where trust had been maimed
Watching her fingers flick filters, adding links to the chain
The ashtray a towering monument to shame
"Come on get over this"; I think, returning focus to my drink
I'll shake off the cuckold's stink, pull it all back from the brink, but

That's when the bomb dropped
From her guilty brow sweaty beads of truth bellyflopped
Straight down into her whisky shot
Choosing alcohol over a role in this latest plot
You claim to have arranged to spend the night with your mother
But I know she's in the Cape visiting your gay brother
It's another lie, why do you consistently rely
On my mind being blind to the proof

Now you've escaped from your eyes
With every breath emphasised
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's easy to talk about love when you haven't loved helplessly"
A glow lights my face
See all your sins are erased
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's heaven to lie in your arms, but your heart is gonna strangle me"

Woken by a stirring in the cage
Animate arteries come creeping slowly
Rolling over my spine
Winding ever tighter round the throat
Tentacles turning, tension burning
I am journeying into your headlights

Now you've escaped from your eyes
With every breath emphasised
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's easy to talk about love when you haven't loved helplessly"
A glow lights my face
See all your sins are erased
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's heaven to lie in your arms, but your heart is gonna strangle me"
Escaped from your eyes
With every breath emphasised
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's easy to talk about love when you haven't loved helplessly"
A glow lights my face
See all your sins are erased
And I'm saying
"Hey girl, it's heaven to lie in your arms, but your heart is gonna strangle me"
