Cats On Fire - Fabric lyrics

His footsteps in the stairs They just ruined my peace With a layman's sense of style He arrived The footsteps in the stairs They just ruin my peace With a layman's sense of style He arrived And I never liked The cloak-and-dagger approach to love But with that, one day at a time I get by All the strain of being with him I may appear insane Someone in constant search for pain But seen against a backdrop A fabric not that thin It's all good, I could've been Forgetting the name of my lover Moving right on to another Going on like this my whole life through I'm so glad it's over That I'm here with my three-leaf clover No longer out for someone new But I, I never really saw the pieces fall into place But I'm sure I saw them try Yes they tried And I never really saw the pieces fall into place But I'm sure I saw them try Yes they tried All the strain of being with him I may appear insane Someone in constant search for pain But seen against a backdrop A fabric not that thin It's all good I could have been Breaking the bones of a lover Moving right on to another Going on like that my whole life through I'm so glad it's over That I'm here with my three-leaf clover No longer after someone new And that's why I've come to this secret understanding With myself Not another one Not another one No longer out for another one No longer after someone new
