Faît Accompli // Arms Out // Sigh

Fait Accompli

Every day
there is some kind of darkness
that just won't go away
no matter how hard I try
it crawls into your system 
while your guard is down
becomes the ball that you drag around

Every party
at every function
to give to people 
with written instructions
don't try to get away
I'm here to stay
My name is fate

Every night
sleep wonders on its own
never once does it kiss me
with its chloroform
it crawled into my system 
while my guard was down
became the bore I like to have around

Every party
at every function
to give it to people 
with written instructions
don't try to get away
I'm here to stay
My name is fate

I've come to crush your bones 
I've come to make you feel old 
I've come to mess with your head 
cos it'll make you feel good

I've come to make you feel good [2]
I've come to make you feel good alright [4]

Come to the party
come to the function
give me aggression 
with written instructions
don't try to get away
I'm here to stay
hear me now

Arms Out

Oh I've seen that chapter in your eyes
it will tear us apart
Something I don't understand
has taken hold of you and made you less than a man

Now here is open space
that was filled with you
Solitude is the only answer
to disconnect will be my shelter
Time is running on you 
time won't be abused

If only it were true
i'd be in love with you
If only you cared
I would throw my arms out

You call me a nutter on the phone
You have watched me die
with the secrets you have told
it's the end of us
Time is getting in your way
it's only time that can truly say

If only you knew
when you're beaten black and blue
When you come to care
I would throw my arms out

Sigh

[Left vocal]... 
Just when you came in through the back yard
Sweet cum/come into my parlour
I am the scarlet in your dreary life
I've come to save you and show you who I am

[Right vocal]
Just come and see and watch again
And I know it's the end
about what I am
I am the scarlet in your dreary life
I've come to save you and show you who I am

Sigh, Sigh
Sigh, Sigh
I know, I know,
I know, I know,

Just never look back
You just keep on moving, (Lesley: Eyes keep on moving straight ahead)
Just never look back
keep on moving,
Just give me one heart
Just keep on moving, keep on moving
