Turpentine Lyrics
I can't tell if this is real or if I am sleepin'
I'll embroider the truth and that's so I shall reap
I took things that didn't belong to me
I didn't mean to do you wrong
Lookin' back on all that stolen time (stolen time)
Back when I was drinkin' (turpentine)
Don't blame me, I only took you in
It takes time to do the poisonin'
So let's close the door on this and lock it
And that's all it will ever be (ever be)
Just an accident of chemistry
You did everything to me but stopped short of murder
Couldn't move me much closer to keepin' my word
While the crowds threw stones at the hangman
The sky fell down, the bells rang
Lookin' back on all that stolen time (stolen time)
Back when I was drinkin' (turpentine)
Don't blame me, I only took you in
It takes time to do the poisonin'
So let's close the door on this and lock it
And that's all that it will ever be (ever be)
Just an accident of chemistry
(Ooh)
Airless shaft of an underground railway
(Ooh)
Effete assassin with a hawk in a sack
(Ooh)
The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
(Ooh)
As it swallowed the river runnin' under the track
Under the track, yeah
I can't tell if I'm dreaming or if I'll awaken
With a song in my heart that is longing to break
Let it out and let it fly high
Up where the spires scrape the sky
Lookin' back on all that stolen time (stolen time)
Back when I was drinkin' (turpentine)
Don't blame me, I only took you in
It takes time to do the poisonin'
So let's close the door on this and lock it
And that's all that it will ever be (ever be)
Just an accident of history, yeah
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Airless shaft of an underground railway
(Ooh, ooh)
Cute assassin with a hawk in a sack
(Ooh, ooh)
The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
(Ooh, ooh)
Swallowed the river running under the track
(Ooh, ooh)
That's right
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
