25

On the eve of my 25th birthday You come knocking at my door at night I tried a hole in my head A hole in my pocket Nothing makes me feel as high As the silhouette of your body in the dim of the hallway light You move left (nothing had me prepared for this) I move right (nothing had me prepared for this) Lordy knows you're still turning me on Holding heavy hands with heavy hearts The cranes on the building sites Extract the people suspending them mid-flight They realise that they will miss the ones they love When they are not there (nothing had me prepared for this) The light in my room goes on at three thirty I take a bath because I feel dirty The power goes out and I lay in the dark in the water I'm running my legs across the surface I'm in debt and I am nervous It comes out of my pores and the way that I move my eyes But if I stare in one place for more than three seconds I calm down and my heartbeat lessens It's quiet outside except for the roll of the thunder Lordy knows you're still turning me on Holding heavy hands with heavy hearts The cranes on the building sites Extract the people suspending them mid-flight They realise that they will miss the ones they love When they are not there (nothing had me prepared for this) On the eve of my 26th birthday You come knocking at my door at night I tried a hole in my head A hole in my pocket Nothing makes me feel as high As the silhouette of your body In the dim of the hallway light You move left (nothing had me prepared for this) I move right (nothing had me prepared for this) You move left (nothing had me prepared for this) I move right (nothing had me prepared for this)
