[Verse 1: The Japanese House] I'm still burned and my blood it creeps I'm the sun-flooded mouth and I cannot speak I'm the scars upon your knees I'm the scrapes of iron your skin breathes I could be anything [Refrain: The Japanese House] And it was so brief A kick in the teeth Oil and powdered lungs Because i know how to breathe And it was so brief I want more time for luck And then I go again [Verse 2: The Japanese House] You're the movements in my sleep You are the words I couldn't keep I saw the fumes and watched them seep Into the wounds you bear to bleed I could lose everything [Refrain: The Japanese House] And it was so brief A kick in the teeth Oil and powdered lungs Because i know how to breathe And it was so brief I want more time for luck And then I go again [Outro: The Japanese House] You love When I saw you You love When I saw you You love When I saw you You love When I saw you
