Bitter Suite[00:00:02]
A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow[00:02:17]
Not the regal creature of border caves[00:02:23]
But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar of some obscure scottish poet[00:02:28]
The mist crawls from the canal[00:02:40]
Like some primordial phantom of romance[00:02:43]
To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen[00:02:45]
While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father[00:02:50]
Your carnation will rot in a vase[00:02:56]
A train sleeps in a siding[00:03:02]
The driver guzzles another can of lager, lager[00:03:05]
To wash away the memories of a friday night down at the club[00:03:13]
She was a wallflower at sixteen, shell be a wallflower at thirty four[00:03:24]
Her mother called her beautiful[00:03:35]
Her daddy said, a whore[00:03:39]
The sky was Bible black in lyon, when I met the magdalene[00:04:45]
She was paralyzed in a streetlight[00:04:52]
She refused to give her name[00:04:55]
And a ring of violet bruises[00:04:59]
They were pinned upon her arm[00:05:02]
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand[00:05:06]
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears[00:05:11]
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear[00:05:19]
Jentend ton coeur, jentend ton coeur[00:05:25]
I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart[00:05:32]
Hear your heart[00:05:38]
I hear your heart[00:05:41]
Its getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper[00:05:59]
Somethings gonna give under this pressure, and the cracks are already beginning to show[00:06:12]
Its too late[00:06:17]
The weekend career girl never boarded the plane[00:06:19]
They said this could never happen again[00:06:21]
Oh, so wrong, so wrong[00:06:23]
This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous[00:06:24]
This time, its looking like another misplaced rendezvous[00:06:26]
With you[00:06:29]
The parallel of you, you[00:06:29]
On the outskirts of nowhere[00:06:30]
On the ringroad to somewhere[00:06:32]
On the verge of indecision[00:06:33]
Ill always take the roundabout way[00:06:34]
Waiting on the rain[00:06:36]
For I was born with a habit, from a sign[00:06:37]
The habit of a windswept thumb, and the sign of the rain[00:06:40]
Rain on me, rain[00:06:43]
Its started raining[00:06:45]
