I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight  Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate  Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak  Another train leavin' home,  conceding defeat with a low moan  Hangin' in A sky, made of stone  Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome  To come meet me in the twilight zone  Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone  I bought him coffee and a snack,  settled back, started speakin'  He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap  While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober  Not cover my mistakes,  try to maybe make sense of the evidence  It's over, she's gone for good  Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby   Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye  The last thing you hear before your life disappear     Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,  feel like I've been cursed.  With seven centuries of bitter memories  And inadequacies, previous he's and she's  I'm movin' round this old house for the last time  Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes  Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock  You got eternity for takin' stock,  this place is like a padlock  You look shocked.  Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,  There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease  And that's how it was for centuries  Me and my memories, till you brought the keys  Took the couple of Saturdays  I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing  Seven hundred years since I came here  You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare  I couldn't get near,  And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear  I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part  That was just the first part, just the start  Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart  In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base  And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape  You making love to someone else is more than I can take  And so I make all the movement I can to no avail  Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell     I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee  I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure  Unless an escape route is found,  I'm going down underground  Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd  The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word  So I'm referred back to hell, huh  Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought  of syringes     J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame  I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again  With what I call a farmer's swain  Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard  Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows,  oversexed flexing his pec's  Jesus, what's he going make her do next?  I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest  You used to do that to me back in 1253  Pity me, while you lie with your lover  I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair  Unaware of who else is there  I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time  You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline  When dust move in the sunshine  So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch  Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched  And switch 'round the house in a blind rage  It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this  cage  And write another stage into a new age,  it's difficult to gauge  But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend  I just don't know how or when  Sleep on, my lost love on gone    Jerome took me home under steel skies  Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies  And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes  The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies  And he surmised  No surprise couldn't hear that  Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again  Not knowing how and not knowing when.
