lyrics

I ask you another question Just to hear your voice
I walk past your workplace
Like I have a choice
If only the moon had not skimmed my skin that night
Like a song on your pillow, a plight

And there you were like you never were
Like a faded love like light for life
Flickering about like I’m the one to blow you out

Somewhere there’s a tin girl in need of an oil change
Somewhere there’s a tin girl in need of an oil change
Your fur was so warm on my wall
Your fur was so warm on my wall

To be killed in a moment
Gorge then gasp
There’s refuge in recollection
Or regret, perhaps
If only I had not hung you on my wall
But for a painting you were so beautiful

And there you were like you always were
Like a faded love like light for life
Flickering about like I’m the one to blow you out

Somewhere there’s a tin girl in need of an oil change
Somewhere there’s a tin girl in need of an oil change
Your fur was so warm on my wall
Your fur was so warm on my wall

(Somewhere, tin girl, somewhere, in need….)
(Somewhere, tin girl, somewhere, in need….)
