I was telling him, the other day that
I would be the one to make her stay but

Who's crying, now on my shoulder?
Who's crying, now that I told her?

In a mile I can feel your legs
I wish away the pain, it's red
I'm draped in lead, I'm heavy as a slug
Drag the body under the rug

Get out of my head
Can't you tell that you're dead, to me?
Talk to me instead, till we go to bed

Who's crying, now on my shoulder?
Who's crying, now that I've told her?

In a mile I can feel your legs
I wish away the pain, it's red
I'm draped in lead, I'm heavy as a slug
Drag the body under the rug

Her lips are ruby and I, forgot the thimble
If I can help it, she'll caress me in the sky
But I can't, entertain you
But I can't, help but escape you

In a mile I can feel your legs
I wish away the pain, it's red
I'm draped in lead, I'm heavy as a slug
Drag the body under the rug
