You come round here with your lame excuses Acting free and easy, talking cheap and loose I let you in, I should know better After all I wrote you it all in a letter About why I can't accommodate you Why I make no attempt to relate to All the things you hold so dear See me, I'm naked, no mask My prejudice is clear So now why make this late night call Telling me I was right after all I've no illusions in this situation Can't call you back, all I feel is inspiration I've got freedom shining bright on my horizon Time to write songs, be my own person Time to renew friendships lost Time to sit down and count the cost Of you setting me free So why come tears late in the night Black crow of gloom that blocks out the light Clutching my pillow, the internal fight This is what I wanted, so why am I holding on so tight To a memory For a while unhappy with all men Man, masculine, male, anything beginning with M Made it my life's cause to revenge on all What was done to me by one of them Then I took off my razorblade earrings Hung them high at the side of the bed Met a man who's vulnerable like me He cries, he dreams, lets his heart rule his head So for now, enjoy the ceasefire The truce between our sides We both laid down our weapons To fall down, side by side And his dreams are wonderful They glisten, they gleam, like the colours in a peacock's tail He understands my needs He knows how hard it is to admit that I've failed In generalising one half of this race Hate is general, love is particular And for now we're in No Man's Land We're running free, running as fast as we can So for now, enjoy the ceasefire The truce between our sides We both laid down our weapons To fall down, side by side But never fear, this war will start again Once more, we'll retreat behind our lines He'll show that he's got teeth and he's got balls And these walls will ring to the tune of the fire And this temporary ceasefire will become another fading memory A mistake made, a time for regret A time when my heart was lost at sea So for now, enjoy the ceasefire The truce between our sides We both laid down our weapons To fall down, side by side So for now, enjoy the ceasefire The truce between our sides We both laid down our weapons To fall down, side by side To fall down, side by side To fall down, side by side
