Cut In Two

(Album: Somewhere Else - 1994)

Cut in two, that's the kind of ship I'm running
Cut in two, that's the kind of spell I'm casting
Cut in two, that's the type of time I'm killing
Cut in two, that's the kind of song I'm singing

Falling in
Falling in
Falling in love again (my face in your bedroom window)
Falling in
Falling in
Falling in love again (nooo!)

Separation (no one looking in through my intrigue)
Separation (yeah I've been another me)
I will run for you, I think

Champagne drink, it's a lie

Cut in two, that's the kind of axe I'm grinding
(he was not perfect, nor had he ever claimed to be)
Cut in two, that's the kind of sleep I'm getting
(enraptured, drifting) (all hail Mr. Sparks and toothpullers!)
Cut in two, that's the kind of love I'm making
(reckon myself) (schoolmasters)
Cut in two, that's the kind of life I'm having
(smoke from the distant chimneys)

Falling in (eggshell and polonaise!)
Falling in (polonaise!) (and you're a ghost)
Falling in love again (polonaise, ahhh!) (you're the never got ghosts)
Falling in
Falling in (it's a contest of stone hearts) (caress)
Falling in love again (yeah, it's a mark)

Separation (there's someone in here sharing it with me)
Separation (someone I no longer trust I can't see)
Separation (he's circling, waiting to make his move) (dead face)
Separation (it's just a memory I can't prove) (French fishwife)

Incidentally, I like the word trespass, oh, serendipity (oh)

Falling in (protected)
Falling in
Falling in love again (I feign unconsciousness) (oh goodbye)
Falling in
Falling in (I feign unconsciousness to see if god is there) (goooodbyyyye!)
Falling in love again

Separation (I hate you)
(he was only doing it for me)
Separation (I'm just gonna have to hate you)
(and I, I was only doing it for the children)
Separation (woooo!)
(and the children are sleeping and frightened)
Separation (oh God bless harmony)
(oh just like they're full of hate in daytime...to hate you)
Separation (no way...)
(why not just follow him, the wind's a stranger)
Separation (I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
Separation (I know...)
