I now know what everyone knows   I lost your love when I lost my clothes   In a softening bed made of sickening blows   A suffering head now knows      You saw me fall, ever smiling   Ever trying, ever knew   You made me crawl, and you were smiling   Ever cool, ever you      My naivety, that you first found endearing   And then blamed stupidity   Stripped by your cool, cool eyes   To this unity      You confuse me   You can use me   Touched by your cool, cool, hands   So impassionately      'Cause you are cruel   I don't mean that in a cool way   And you are cruel   In your cool way   And you are cruel   In such a cruel way   You are cruel   I don't mean that in a cool, cool way      The winter sun made up   Our dreams and cigarettes   Sleepless nights spent speaking of   Half-past regrets      I now know what everyone seems to know   I lost your love when I lost my clothes   In a softening bed made of softening blows   A sickening head now knows      You are cruel   I don't mean that in a cool way   And you are cruel   In such a cool, cool way   And you are cool   In such a cruel way   You are cruel   I don't mean that in a cool, cool way
