Cold Cave
Now That I'm The Future
Help me honey, 'cause I can't see
Love's lungs are blowing tear gas at me
Ambulance sirens are screaming my name
And I'm all hopped up on yesterday
London and Paris, why won't you help me?
My tongue's in the air, my hand's on your knees.
I know you're married, yeah I know your pain,
your finger's been strangled by a cheap promise ring.
I'm in a shadow of doubt,
With a knife pulled out.

At your wedding reception, I started drinking,
To say all the things that I had been thinking.
There's too many songs, and nothing to dance to;
The future is putrid, and useless without you.
Jesus and Mary held a seance for me,
but I wasn't dead, I was just in Philly.
Now I'm on the cover of the magazine,
with my finger on the trigger of everything.
I read the bible, and I understand,
I was born for heaven, in the holy land.
