It's battleship grey outside And we don't know what we'll be getting All your sweet talking, raining over me ‘Til my name escapes, and I'm set free There's a word in your eye, But I don't know what is to say it And when you call me from the other side, A sense of it starts breaking up, and its lies I don't know, what I'm getting, But I'm getting something, I don't know, what I'm getting, But I'm getting something It's battleship grey outside, Confusion, all this is for the gods Uncertainty, I could be bathing under artificial light Under twilight blue, starts to mesmorize And I tell myself that you light up my life But its all in the mind when you cannot see in the eyes ‘Cause I don't know, what I'm getting But I'm getting something, I don't know, what I'm getting But I'm getting something It's battleship grey All your sweet talking, raining over me ‘Til my name escapes, and I'm set free
