lyrics
I lie awake and strain to shake
The aching in my chest:
A nympholeptic on the verge
Of cardiac arrest
Suppressing the obsessions
That incessantly resound
Through the synapses you’ve severed
In the nerves you’ve wound around
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool
So, would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
I vacillate, equivocate
I wait outside your door:
Your starry-eyed solicitor
And pettish bête noire
I don’t know what to do but to fracture for you
But to crack like a leaky cup--
But to murmur and sigh every time that I try
To speak up, to speak up
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool
So, would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
I stand with my coat in my hand--
I stand with my coat in my hand
And the words in my throat,
But nothing comes out clearly
I mumble incoherently
But nothing comes out clearly
I mumble incoherently
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool--
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool--
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool
So, would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
Would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
The aching in my chest:
A nympholeptic on the verge
Of cardiac arrest
Suppressing the obsessions
That incessantly resound
Through the synapses you’ve severed
In the nerves you’ve wound around
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool
So, would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
I vacillate, equivocate
I wait outside your door:
Your starry-eyed solicitor
And pettish bête noire
I don’t know what to do but to fracture for you
But to crack like a leaky cup--
But to murmur and sigh every time that I try
To speak up, to speak up
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool
So, would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
I stand with my coat in my hand--
I stand with my coat in my hand
And the words in my throat,
But nothing comes out clearly
I mumble incoherently
But nothing comes out clearly
I mumble incoherently
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool--
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool--
Nothing smarts like the tender heart
Of a sentimental fool
So, would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
Would it kill you-- would it kill you
To give a little?
