Lyrics Bitter Suite - Live at Columbiahalle, Berlin, Germany, 11/5/2015 - Fish
A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow
Not the regal creature of border caves,
But the poor, misguided, directionless
Familiar of some obscure Scottish poet.
The mist crawls from the canal
Like some primordial phantom of romance
To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen
While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father
Your carnation will rot in a vase
A train sleeps in a siding
The driver guzzles another can of lager
To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club
She was a wallflower at sixteen,
She'll be a wallflower at thirty four
Her mother called her beautiful
Her daddy said, "A Whore"
The sky was bible black in Lyon
Where I met the Magdalene
She was paralysed in a streetlight
She refused to give her mame
She wore a ring of violent bruises
They are pinned upon her arm
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from the glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
"J'entend ton cœur, j'entend ton cœur"
I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart.
I hear your heart, I can hear your heart,
I hear your heart.
It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper
Something's gonna give under this pressure
And the cracks are already beginning to show
It's too late
The weekend career girl never boarded the plane
They said this could never happen again
So wrong, so wrong
This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous
This time it's looking like another misplaced rendezvous
With you
The parallel of you
Could it be you, could it be you
On the outskirts of nowhere
On the ring road to somewhere
On the verge of indecision
I'll always take the roundabout way
Waiting on the rain
For I was born with a habit, from a sign
The habit of a windswept thumb
And the sign of the rain
