lyrics

You’re in my body like jagged steel splinters,
and I can’t stop pulling skin from my fingers now
Everybody’s fooled hook, line and sinker
I took a chance on a dangerous other,
I didn’t know you were deep undercover
now Adelaide’s too small for the both of us

You’ve got some owning up to do
but I’m all out of time, you crossed my line
Who told you, you could act this way
and you could play the games you play?
You crossed my line now

Cash your cheque in the queue winner winner
but what’s the price of your victory dinner?
Now the plate’s full of poison and a lightning bolt
String me up I’m the perfect pariah,
dark past you can paint me as the liar
you just lie all you like through your tears made of salt

You’ve got some owning up to do
but I’m all out of time you crossed my line
Who told you, you could act this way
and you could play the games you play?
You crossed my line now

You cried out for all our attention
but you’re in need of divine intervention
you can sail that ship to shore
but it’s not like I’ve never been here before

Clap clap from my hands to my lover ooh
I once loved you forlorn fire starter
you can sail that ship to shore
but it’s not like I’ve never been here before

It’s not like I’ve never been here before
