Lyrics

It was one of those black cat nights
The moon had gone out and the air was thin
It was the kind of night that the cat would drag in
I'll never forget it, we had a fight
Then you turned around, turned on the light
You left our bed and you moved downstairs
To live with her instead
Yeah, just one floor and a shower away
I guess I should have moved, but I decided to stay
Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now?
And every night I open all the windows
I let a cold dark wind blow through
I play loud organ music
And I talk to myself and dream of you
Uh oh, I hear voices coming up through the pipes
Through all the springs in my bed and up through the lights
Volume goes up and drops back down
I can hear the two of you playing records
Moving furniture and fooling around
Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now?
Is there blood on my hands though my hands are clean?
Did I do something in another lifetime that was really, really mean?
Yeah, I'm hearing voices, am I losing my mind?
Think I'm going crazy, gotta get out
Run into the street, start to shout
Get out of my way, get out, get out
Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now?
Is there blood on my hands?
Did I do something in another lifetime that was really, really mean?
A small bullet, a piece of glass
And your heart just grows around it
