Cut-out Shapes Lyrics

Magazine

I enter the room
Confident enough
For now I tread
A straight and narrow way
So I sleep soundly
A little blue in the face
Cut-out shapes
In secondhand daylight
Somewhere else
Something else
On my mind
Shes caressing me
With the hidden hands
Of the only kind of violence
She thinks Ill understand
Weve got them dancing
To all of our confessions
They dont know how
We rehearse our dreams
Somewhere else ...
I just get numb
When youre hard to find
We met at a psychiatric unit
She was in for having habits
No one else would try
She didnt know what she was in control of
She had all the advantages of magic
No one could deny
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a fly
Your inescapable mother
Such a crazy lover
I just get numb ...
Find out
Youll find out
