Essex Green Elsinore
Got the notice this morning,
Left me numb
You wanna shake your mind up
I want a change of scene
My face was a thousand
Shades of red
And I'll paint me a new backdrop
So we all blend in
I can still feel desire
As the cornerstone caves in
My stomach was reeling
(my stomach was reeling)
To the maritime
We'll look for peace of mind in the dark
Horizontal lines
And I saw that your finger
(your fingers were bleeding)
was bleeding dry
(coulda been more kind)
and I could have been a bit more kind
to your malady
I can still be reminded not to take so thoughtlessly
because
I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore,
Picking fights and talking back
And I just wanna hold you tight
And listen long
All the strength of your quiet side
Out in the stairwell three flights down
I can hear the echo of the sound of water
My will breaking down
Well I missed it the first time,
Like the willing blind
Yeah I had my eyes glued shut,
My fist balled up tight
But I'm willing to open
Turn my song around, yeah
Time is getting wise to my ways
Maybe you'll understand
I'm stuck on the rainy side of Elsinore,
Picking fights and talking back
And I just wanna hold you tight
And listen long
All the strength of your quiet side
I'm stuck on the rainy side
