So what comes next for those of us who never rest
Who never take a breath?
To journey onward beyond machinery stuck in a side-street factory
Or to the bedroom
Potential war zone, daily confessional
Collect the pay cheque by the scruff of the neck
Tipping the hat to proper man
Obey the curfew
And no more harm can come to me or you tonight
Abandon each other
And no more harm can come to me or you tonight
So wherefore next when the boundaries never end
And problems manifest?
To gesture nicely or send the infantry
Kick down my door and ask me
Sooner or later if breathing easier
We'll skip over the bodies and click our heels together
Obey the curfew
And no more harm can come to me or you tonight
Abandon each other
And no more harm can come to me or you tonight
I've sold out my lover one last time for this final lullaby
