[Verse 1]
So I'm there
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burning and a purposeful gait
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know
And the world moves in slow-mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
[Hook]
And it's you, and it's May
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
[Verse 2]
Do I have time? A man of my calibre?
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager? No!
And I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every memento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Pull through my head as the music takes hold
And the sickener hits: I can work 'til I break
But I love the bones of you
That I will never escape
So I'm there
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burning and a purposeful gait
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know
And the world moves in slow-mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
[Hook]
And it's you, and it's May
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away
[Verse 2]
Do I have time? A man of my calibre?
Stood in the street like a sleepwalking teenager? No!
And I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every memento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Pull through my head as the music takes hold
And the sickener hits: I can work 'til I break
But I love the bones of you
That I will never escape
