Beth Orton Tangent Lyrics

Lost myself in a tangent of words
                 Can't decide what I've seen or heard
                   Can't sleep for counting sheep
                How long...does this river..run deep?
                How long...does this river..run deep?

                   Building 'em up in order to find
                   What's not lost but left behind
                 My instinct got bruised, but I still see
                  I was a victim of being no casualty

             Just like coming home...just like coming home
           Just like coming home...felt just like coming home

                They say that you weave deadly tricks
                    Cantrip to the worldly hicks
                    Stare cold with dull surprise
        Spark evil to hell in every tear you cry...every tear you cry

                   Building 'em up in order to find
                   What's not lost but left behind
                 My instinct got bruised, but I still see
                  I was a victim of being no casualty

             Just like coming home...just like coming home
           Just like coming home...felt just like coming home

                   Cut off my toes to spite my feet
               Drank your poison, didn't taste too sweet
                    Saw the heavens in my mind
                  And it's there...for me...to find.

                   Oh it's there...for me...to find

                   Building 'em up in order to find
                   What's not lost but left behind
                 My instinct got bruised, but I still see
                  I was a victim of being no casualty

             Just like coming home...just like coming home
           Just like coming home...felt just like coming home

                      Lost myself in a tangent
                      Lost myself in a tangent
                      Lost myself in a tangent
                     Lost myself in a tangent...
