Lyrics: Paper Monsters

 

 

Dirty Sticky Floors

Dave Gahan and Knox Chandler

 

Waiting for the last time

For my friend to change my mind

Waiting for the last drop

Seems like a long long time

Maybe I should go back home

I'll sit and wait right by the phone

Praying over the porcelain throne

On my dirty sticky floor

Ask me what I want

Easy that's just more

How long will I wait for you

Twice as long as I did before

Standing in the freezing snow

Maybe you left I just don't know

I'll soon be lying on my own

On some dirty sticky floor

I hope no one can see me

The tin man says I'm doing fine

That lion ain't gonna get me

See that gun right there it's mine

I've painted a face where I burnt the floor

Now the face has become my devil's door

 

 

Hold on
Dave Gahan and Knox Chandler
 
You keep sending me all these things
I'm learning how to smile
You keep sending me all these things
I think I'll stay a while
Tried to talk to you in my dream
You looked at me and smiled
Your smile said to me
I'll have to wait a while
I have to wait a while
Hold on You opened my eyes today
Hold on Another surprise
You keep giving me all these things
I see them in your smile
You keep giving me all these things
I think I'll stay a while
I guess I'll stay a while
 

Bottle living
Dave Gahan and Knox Chandler
 
He's like a King without a crown
He wears it like a clown
Watch him disappear
I wish he would come down
So call before you drown
I won't always be around
He's a ship without a sail
He's not listening when you speak
Living for the bottle
He'll be sitting there all week
So call before you drown
I won't always be around
Living for the bottle
Living for the bottle
There's no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jumped right out his skin
He'll take you for a ride
Living for the bottle
Living for the bottle
So call before you drown
I won't always be around
He's a dog without a bite
Still looking for a fight
All in black
He won't be home tonight

 

Black And Blue Again

 

 

 Stay

 

I Need You

 

Bitter Apple

 

Hidden Houses

 

Goodbye
