Lyrics:
i see you getting fit
i can't make sense of it
at night you roll up your jeans
and pull on your velveteen
tonight you're on the stairs
what are you doing there?
take off your lethargy
and down the banister you slide
who is she?
because i know that it can't be
a closetful of lace acquired recently
who am i to debase in this economy?
is she a perfect ten?
have you found christ again?
you tell me you don't have the time to cop to it
and vanish in the night
who is she?
because i know that it can't be me
you fell away
and i know how it all boils down
you hesitate
maintain charade
and i fall to the battle the bottom again
we used to tell each other everything
and now we're passing ships in night
we used to tell each other all the lies
and in a fairly civil way
whatever gets you through the night
