Lyrics (unofficial)

I wanna warn you we are under surveillance
Why there's a camera on us right now
Sewn in the mist as the snow falls
White falcon in a black sky

Grey car on the side of the road
And the indicator intermittent indicating
I feel like I swallow my mind [1:03]
And I sign my own non-release [1:06]

Please don't pay me in cash
Dash it, oh what a hash up
Mash-up
A trashy cold mess

I thought it'd be easy to find
I thought you were coming alone
I thought I wouldn't mind the pain
Sin is always unpleasant
Neither of us ever present
I resent it
What have I got to gain

Got a house on the edge of the forest [1:59]
Frozen lake and the blackest pine
So warm sitting in the kitchen
Watching the storm through double glass

Someone knocking at the door now
And the calculator callously calculating
I feel like I jumped the shark
'Cause I park my own giant stag

Flag me down my bagman
Rag me down my bone man
Home man
Saggy, saggy, baggy, alone

I feel things that you don't see
I see things that you can't feel
I thought I could deal with the hurt
Sin is always unblemished [3:01]
I never feel replenished
At the finish
I'm just back at this town

[starting around 3:48, barely audible]
I wanna warn you we are under surveillance
Why there's a camera on us right now
Sewn in the mist as the snow falls
White falcon in a black sky
Grey car on the side of the road
And the indicator intermittent indicating

Got a house on the edge of the forest [4:15]
Frozen lake and the blackest pine
So warm sitting in the kitchen
Watching the storm through double glass

Someone knocking at the door now
And the calculator callously calculating
I feel like I jumped the shark
Because I park....
