Tales  from my  head
can't  buy the book
 no one's listening  but I guess you could
 try whistling this
 You say you're tired
 liquid is water
 but you'll succumb now as I stroke your back
 I'm the best that you know
And  every time you think of me
I  hope you think of true romance
and  everytime you want to leave
you  give us both a another chance
 Warmest welcome violent stranger
 he said come here as he pushed me down
 impossible to do
 in high heels walking into walls
 ever wonder if you're here at all
 try whistling this
And  my words are ringing in your ears
drawing  your attention now to all the things that you ignore
if  I can't be with you I would rather have a different face
and  if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space
and  if the gods desert us now I'd turn this chapel into flames
 and if  someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place
