I thought I heard you say   You wracked your brain and nearly thought of    Calling it a day   Belie the cost of sacrificing me      All that you wanted to be   Immaculate and pristine   Some sort of spiritual Sid and Nancy   We'll put the whole world to sleep   Just by the skin of our teeth   Rolling in like a Roman army      Tear your way back into my black heart, baby   I've waited too long just to have you slip away again   I know we spent so much time apart now lately   But pulling you close it's me and you until the end      Savvy in the way   You catch me scheming well before I   Come to plead my case   Despite a wealth of indiscretioning      All that you want me to be   Better to give than receive   Like a chemical - so disarming   We could put on a scene    But you think you should leave   Floating out with your eyes locked on me      A vulture to the bait   Without you, I'd be left to slowly    Pick amongst remains   All in all, I know I made a    Terrible mistake   I never want this night forgotten   And heaven help the day   We're nothing more than precious memory   Cast into the flame   I swear to you I'm never coming   Back for you again   Again, again, again, again, again
