Struck Dumb

Shady, shameless and hurtful
The bitterest cream makes the best cocktail curdle and
Undream all that you long for
To throw it all down and retreat into a corner and cry

I want you so bad that it hurts
I want you so bad that it burns
Right through forever
Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa

Baby, I'll not desert you
When Carrion crows argue envy's a virtue they
Bleed green, don't let your guard down
The magic don't touch when you curl into a small ball and cry

I want you so bad that it hurts
I want you so bad that it burns
Right through forever
Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo

Lately, silent survival
Has brilliant thoughts turning grey on arrival
Like old gum, stretched out and worthless
A literate thirst is a hearse when you can't say the lines

I want you so bad that it hurts
I want you so bad that it burns
Right through forever
Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
