Dave McPherson - The Stupid Franchise Of Love lyrics

She's always wearing white She paints up a utopia with candlelight Her windows are all steamed up And a catalyst breathes me in Her eyes are like fire, opals And her heart is a machine I look through you It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you So translucent We danced for the sun But how could I know you'd leave me so soon? Isn't it funny how things come around? The ceiling always meets the ground The cookie always crumbles The shapes of our lives have spiralled and split And a pendulum's falling into the pit Every grain of sand is the beach I look through you It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you So translucent We danced for the sun But how could I know you'd leave me so soon? No-one can shame you And no-one can hurt you And I talked to you for hours about nothing And I missed you when you said you had to go And this is all my fault, I should have left How could I do this to her after all she's done? Now she weeps silently I look through you It makes me want to cry knowing what I've done to you So translucent We danced for the sun But how could I know you'd leave me so soon? So soon So soon So soon So soon
