The TV's flickering late at 2 am
Accepting the soft kill at least right up to then
Cuz that's when the phone startled me
A whisper made my name
Yeah, she was desperation
And I was walkin' pain
I guess she's back on the wine, but I won't fold this time, no
There's always somethin' in the way
And there's always another price to pay yeah
It seems someone's always takin' my sunshine, not enough to petition
I'm night blind but I'm hearin' every word, i'ts all just repetition
And if you think my eyes are a little sinister, baby, you got me wrong
I love against the grain, little thing, go back to where you belong, go on
