Lyrics (unofficial)
This book is full of failures
This song has a voice of its own
Each reflection that much paler
Each protection overblown
Every night he goes to the girls
And the place begins to sway
Things look pretty dead in his shallow world
Had to get himself away
Reach behind to take the credit
She says, "Baby can I give you a hand?"
Love can scorch you if you let it
It's the law of supply and demand
Every night he sinks to his knees
And spills the glass reply
And when she drags his head through the trees
They shake with every lie
This is the same
Others that I've known
Tie her up again
It's something they've outgrown
In the sea beneath the covers
Swim through the caves so pallor and thin
On the cloth between the lovers
Blocking out the chairs won't allow you to think
And every night removing a change
He perceives the entrance shut
Hooks and books and looks are exchanged
Until the last hold is cut
This is the same
Others that I've known
Tie her up again
It's something they've outgrown
Every night he imagines a scene
And yes, yes, yes, I'm blue
It's not the places I've never been
It's just the tip of you
This is the same
Others that I've known
Tie her up again
It's something they've outgrown
This is the same
Others that I've known
Tie her up again
This is the same
Others that I've known....
