Swallow, smile
by Franz Ferdinand

I rise and curse the waking day
Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air
And on the skin of the bed I´m tied within
Hiding from the twitch and crash
Of the mood I hear you hatch
You´re the mother growing cold
You´re the bath now running old
I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene
As I push the door aside - swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
I wander round the gulf between us
Wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone
As useless - I´m a broken bone
Come on let´s fight let´s feel alive
Come on let´s fight let´s feel alive
It´s the only feeling I´ve kept towards you
That resembles any passion, any tremble, any word,
I´ll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on, I´ll return it
Give me more, give me, I´ll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
But it´s alright, I lie
It´s alright, here´s another lie
Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air
And on the skin of the bed I´m tied within
Hiding from the twitch and crash
Of the mood I hear you hatch
You´re the mother growing cold
You´re the bath now running old
I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene
As I push the door aside - swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
I wander round the gulf between us
Wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone
As useless - I´m a broken bone
Come on let´s fight let´s feel alive
Come on let´s fight let´s feel alive
It´s the only feeling I´ve kept towards you
That resembles any passion, any tremble, any word,
I´ll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on, I´ll return it
Give me more, give me, I´ll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
But it´s alright, I lie
It´s alright, here´s another lie
