Slow Graffiti
There's a portrait
In a back room
Which I keep for days upon which I relent
And gaze for hours on the muscle skin and bone of some
Imaginary friend.
So how about it?
Show me please how I will look in twenty years
And let me please
Interpret history in every line and scar that's painted
There in front of me.
It doesn't matter what I'm thinking
What I tell myself to do
I'll end up calling.
I stay in to defrost the fridge
Now the kid has gone to bed
A feeling of dread.
At least when she's around the troubles there
It's worse to wake up with her falling round the room.
Listen johnny you're like a mother
To the girl you've fallen for
And you're still falling.
Listen johnny
You're like a mother to the girl you've fallen for
And you're still falling
And if they come tonight
You'll roll up tight and take whatever's coming to you next.
