Lyrics

i see the light in your eyes, it's getting dimmer everyday, i feel the bitter cut of your tongue, so lacking in it's grace, and the sadness on your tattooed face, it seems to me my dear, when we are face to face, the truth is a rare prey, no matter how many tears, are locked up inside you like pounding fear, and contrary to desire, like the reverse of me and you, time never comes back, and leaves us nothing, nothing left to pursue, da da da dat dat da dat da da dat da da, turn off the waterworks baby, they don't move me no more, you've got my boots but i'm already, standing out side your door, and there's nothing left that we can repair anymore, it's good that i remembered, before you forget, i give you my heart, but you wanted my head, and there's nothing, nothing we don't deserve, and contrary to desire, like the reverse of me and you, time never comes back, and leaves us nothing, nothing left to pursue, da da da dat dat da dat da da dat da da, turn off the waterworks baby, they don't move me no more, you've got my boots but i'm already, standing out side your door, and there's nothing left that we can repair anymore, now there's a knucklehead, i had it painted red, standing alone in the yard, we won't be riding together no more girl, believe me, i take it hard, i take it hard, i take it hard, i take it hard, and contrary to desire, like the reverse of me and you, time never comes back, and leaves us nothing, nothing left to pursue, da da da dat dat da dat da da dat da da, turn off the waterworks baby, they don't move me no more, you've got my boots but i'm already, standing out side your door, and there's nothing left that we can repair anymore
