A body at rest will stay at rest

While a body in motion goes

Our bodies undressed will stay undressed

Til my feeling of unrest grows

We choreographed our morning routine

You make my bed once I'm gone

And in the nighttime know well enough

To wait til the curtain's drawn

And I wonder

Is it too soon for inertia

Did I sink instead of fall

Is it too late to be wondering

Do I know this man at all

Don't get me caught in the inertia yet, babe

You smell like the candy shell of a pill

I swallow, I'm comfortable

You murmur lines I know are sincere

I know how to play my role

Just spaced out, I lie when thoughts intrude:

Will I hurt you or you me

And when you tell me to look in your eyes

Who on earth is it you see

Makes me wonder

Is it too soon for inertia

Did I sink instead of fall

Is it too late to be wondering

Do I know this man at all

Don't get me caught in the inertia yet

In the inertia yet

I've been rehearsing but

Is this the right stage

(Are our bodies resting or getting farther away?)

Don't get me caught in the inertia yet, babe
