Tense Empty
David david abrogate it,
Turning nurses into wine,
Your barbour jacket, missing dimple;
Beautifully combine,
"Criminality, pure and simple",
Drips from every trenchant sigh,
It's like your tense and empty boys
Were thatched by such design.
You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years,
Putting backs in the corner, making the most of all our fears;
You've been getting away, away, away with it night and day,
Hushing backs in the corner, making the most of things to say;
You've been away, away, away, away, away.
Every morning, each a teacher
Meets a certain type of fate,
The cut of cloth like slow elastic
Bends until it breaks,
This early set resentment
Can and will not settle down,
The words that drip from token lips
Just amplify the sound.
You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years,
Putting backs in the corner, making the most of all our fears;
You've been getting away, away, away with it night and day,
Hushing backs in the corner, making the most of things to say;
You've been away, away, away, away, away.
Don't demonstrate with disregard,
Don't live your life with dreams
Of torment in your sullied heart.
Don't give a kiss, don't settle down,
If all you need is to break a vow.
You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years.
Ohh,
You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years.
You've been getting away, away, away with it all these years,
Putting backs in the corner, making the most of all our fears;
You've been getting away, away, away with it night and day,
Hushing backs in the corner, making the most of things to say;
You've been away, away, away, away, away.
Vacío Tenso
David david abrógate,
Convirtiendo enfermeras en vino,
Tu chaqueta de barbero, falta de hoyuelo;
Hermosamente combinado,
'Criminalidad, pura y simple',
Gotea de cada suspiro mordaz,
Es como si tus chicos tensos y vacíos
Fueran techados por tal diseño.
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años,
Poniendo a todos contra la pared, aprovechando todos nuestros miedos;
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con esto noche y día,
Silenciando a todos en la esquina, sacando el máximo provecho de lo que se dice;
Has estado lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos.
Cada mañana, cada uno un maestro
Se encuentra con un cierto tipo de destino,
El corte de tela como elástico lento
Se dobla hasta que se rompe,
Este resentimiento temprano establecido
No puede ni se asentará,
Las palabras que gotean de labios simbólicos
Solo amplifican el sonido.
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años,
Poniendo a todos contra la pared, aprovechando todos nuestros miedos;
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con esto noche y día,
Silenciando a todos en la esquina, sacando el máximo provecho de lo que se dice;
Has estado lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos.
No demuestres con desdén,
No vivas tu vida con sueños
De tormento en tu corazón manchado.
No des un beso, no te asientes,
Si todo lo que necesitas es romper un voto.
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años.
Ohh,
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años.
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con todo esto años,
Poniendo a todos contra la pared, aprovechando todos nuestros miedos;
Has estado saliendo, saliendo, saliendo con esto noche y día,
Silenciando a todos en la esquina, sacando el máximo provecho de lo que se dice;
Has estado lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos.
