lyrics

everyone I know punishes themselves
more than anyone else ever could
I'd reach out my arms to help them
but my arms are made of wood

I've got fish of my own to fry
I've plans to get away
If you want a perfect moment
I'll give you a perfect day

I've run out of rods for my own back
I've got to stop beating myself
I'm not looking for offers only ideas
advantagous to my health


I'm a blank page for you to write on
I sometimes think I don't exist
a life designed by committee
a quick one off the wrist

I'd lie if I said I'd suffered much
it's mainly self inflicted
usual boring teenage stuff
but nearly twice as twisted


I've run out of rods for my own back
I've got to stop beating myself
I'm not looking for offers only ideas
advantagous to my health


Like a pigeon always makes a home
I always return to a theme
all of this, all of this and nothing
I wake up and it's all a dream

turn the tv off, dim the lights
tune in to a different scene
do what your sordid little heart desires
if you want to know what I mean


It looks like the storm clouds are gathering
the chickens have come home to roost
the sad things you were always too scared to face
are out there on the loose

who cares if it's all done with mirrors
it doesn't matter if you see the signs
who cares if you live on a film set
if you don't think of what lies behind

It looks like the storm clouds are gathering
the chickens have come home
