Watercress - Tripped Up lyrics

She taught me things you never could teach. Soul as white as a sunbleached piece of beach. Nose all punched up, face all scrunched up, Teeth all gunged up, beauty like I've never seen. Sleep becomes you, makes you, numbs you. Me sitting staring like I never heard a four letter word. Snap right out of it, long enough to doubt it, Now I'm talking numbers down a cable to another world. It's hard to keep in touch when it screws me up so much So I think we ought to do it alone. Tripped up again, can't remember when I fall. Suffer temporary loss of memo-rary, That's when I've got one at all. One thing on my mind to push me back in time A musty gla** of wine, the end of summertime. Turning the last bend, learning the fast way It burns your itchy fingers if the flame's allowed to linger It's hard to keep in touch when it screws me up so much So I think we ought to do it alone. But every now and then, it's good to have a friend Who knows I'm a lost little soul It's hard to keep in touch when it screws me up so much So I think we ought to do it alone. But every now and then, it's good to have a friend Who knows I'm a lost little soul
