Swallow, Smile Lyrics

Franz Ferdinand
Miscellaneous
Swallow, Smile
I rise and curse the waking day
Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air
And on the skin of the bed I'm tied within

Hiding from the twitch and crash
Of the mood I hear you hatch
You're the mother growing cold
You're the bath now running old
I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene
As I push the door aside
Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
[ Franz Ferdinand Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

I wander round the gulf between us
Wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone
As useless, I'm a broken bone
Come on, let's fight, let's feel alive
Come on, let's fight, let's feel alive

It's the only feeling I've kept towards you that resembles any passion
Any tremble, any word, I'll take and turn it
Twist and pissed-on, I'll return it

Give me more, give me, I'll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
But it's alright, I lie. It's alright, here's another lie.
