I Was A Lover - TV on The Radio[00:00:01]
Written by:David Sitek/Kyp Malone/TV on the Radio[00:00:03]
I was a lover before this war[00:00:19]
Held up in a luxury suite[00:00:25]
Behind a barricaded door[00:00:28]
Now that I've cleaned up gone legit[00:00:31]
I can see clearly round hole[00:00:37]
Round whole square peg don't fit[00:00:41]
I'm locked in my bedroom[00:01:21]
So send back the clowns[00:01:23]
My clone wears a brown shirt[00:01:27]
And I seduce him[00:01:30]
When there's no one around[00:01:31]
Mano you mano on a bed of nails[00:01:33]
Bring it on like a storm[00:01:39]
Till I knock the wind out of his sails[00:01:42]
And we don't make eye contact[00:01:46]
When we have run ins in town[00:01:49]
Just a barely polite nod[00:01:51]
And nervous stares towards the ground[00:01:55]
I once joined a priest class plastic inert[00:01:58]
In a slowdance with commerce[00:02:04]
Like a lens up a skirt[00:02:07]
And we liked to party[00:02:10]
And we kept it live[00:02:13]
And we had a three volume tome[00:02:17]
Of contemporary slang[00:02:18]
To keep a handle on all this jive[00:02:20]
Ennui unbridled[00:02:30]
Let's talk to kill the time[00:02:33]
How many styles did you cycle[00:02:36]
Through before you were mine[00:02:39]
And it's been a while since[00:02:42]
We went wild and that's all fine[00:02:44]
But we're sleepwalking through this trial[00:02:48]
And it's really a crime[00:02:51]
It's really a crime it's really a crime[00:02:53]
It's really criminal[00:03:00]
We're just busy tempting[00:03:13]
Like fate's on the nod[00:03:15]
Running on empty bourbon and god[00:03:19]
It's been a while since we knew the way[00:03:25]
And it's been even longer[00:03:32]
Since our plastic priest class[00:03:35]
Had a goddamned thing to say[00:03:36]
I was a lover before this war[00:03:44]
I was a lover before this war[00:03:50]
I was a lover before this war[00:03:56]
