Please Don't Call On Me

I am the devil

I am your mother

Dancing in circles

Come be my lover

Pulled underneath by an ocean of grief

Struggling sometimes to breathe

The sum of all fears can be found in your tears

(Something I don’t believe)

See my impression of life as confession?

I got it down to a T

When I awaken my hands will be shaking so

Please don’t call on me

Stroll into town with my head above ground

Something that I can’t afford

If I’m not mistaken the plans that I’m making

Will be laughed at by the law

Smiling and waving and looking for something

That sits in the eye of my need

While I am making it

F is for faking it

Please don’t call on me

Please don’t call on me

Please don’t call on me

Please don’t call on me

Cos I’m young and I’m free

All outta time so I walk the thin line

Travel the length of the land

All I was looking for spills now onto the floor

While my bones turn to sand

Back near the station beneath murmurations

I am engulfed by the sea

While I am living they’ll be no forgiving so

Please don’t call on me

Sirens wailing

Sirens calling my name

Sirens screaming

Sirens calling my name

Pulled underneath by that ocean of grief

No longer able to breathe

The sum of all fears can be found in my tears

(Something I now believe)

See my impression of life as confession?

I had it down to a T

I won’t be waking my hands won’t be shaking so

Please don’t call on me

Please don’t call on me

Please don’t call on me

Please don’t call on me

Cos I’m young and I’m free

I am the devil

I am your mother

Dancing in circles

Come be my lover
