Roddy Frame Tough
Slowly, she dissolves me
In waves of her, and leaves us blurred,
The flow just enthrals me
I drown in her, she purrs soothing words
Warm rain runs mascara
I laugh and say "My billion dollar-babe!"
She looks at me like I'm her father
Then hesitates and looks away
It means "Must try harder..."
What d'you wanna go and do this for
Don't you think it's all screwed enough
Givin' out the keys to your core
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
You looked in her eyes
You never wondered why
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough
Concrete and dry heat
music plays from another age
I'm back in my old street
head over heels and underage
Soft songs fade slowly
In and out like a sense of doubt
The earth shifts below me
And I forget what I was all about
This feeling's all through me
What d'you wanna go and do this for
Don't you think it's all screwed enough
Givin' out the keys to your core
Now you've really gone and blew that stuff
You looked in her eyes
You never wondered why
And now your heart's gonna die and it's tough
