IN THE EVENING SHE DOES THE DISHES BEFORE IT GETS DARK

I KNOW IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE STAYING IN

COOL DOWN, DRESS UP, SHINE ON

I'M HERE TO HEAL THE DOCTORS

IN A FEW YEARS NONE OF THIS WILL MATTER ANYMORE

AN OVERDOSE OF ADMIRATION AND A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING

ABSOLUTELY NOT, DARLING, BLACK MAKES YOU LOOK EVEN SKINNIER

WITH A BLACK MARKER SHE COLOURED ALL THE HOLES IN THE 6S, 8S AND 9S

I DREAMED ABOUT OUR OLD HOUSE AGAIN LAST NIGHT

I DON'T REMEMBER WHY I SAID IT, BUT I'M SURE THAT THEN IT MADE SENSE

SHE GAVE ME THAT LOOK AND THEN TURNED HER BACK ON ME

SHE TOLD ME THAT MY HAIR WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND THAT MY MAKEUP WAS TOO STRONG

SHE REMOVED HER SUNGLASSES, TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND OPENED THE DOOR

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS

LET HER IN AND TELL HER TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES IN THE KITCHEN

A NICE WARM CUP OF TEA WOULD BE LOVELY, THANK YOU

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW, THERE'S ALWAYS MORE

I FELT NUMB AND I THOUGHT IT WAS FINALLY ALL OVER

AFTER THREE HOURS I FOUND HIM WAITING ON A CORNER

A SIGH, A FOUNTAIN PEN, AN EYELASH AND A PIECE OF BROKEN MIRROR

IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE IT'S YOU ASKING ME NOT TO QUIT SO SOON

GOOD MORNING, MR SCHMIDT

I CLOSED MY EYES AND HE PUT HIS PALM ON MY FOREHEAD

I CAN'T GET LOST HERE ANYMORE

THOUGHT YOU'D PREFER ME DOING IT INSTEAD

WOULD BE NICE
