I was woken up at four a.m. by your screams and anguished cries
Your mother was singing in the bathroom "she will never be my child"
Oh, baby talks in her sleep so loud

We're living four flights up but I swear
Right now it feels like underground


Well you have absolutely no common sense
Yes I know that's your charm
You spend the whole day on the phone

You say well it helps you stay calm
You cling to my arm, I know that's your charm


And when I ask you what you want
You say "do you mind hey crocodile"
Well then could you give me some peace?

You say "well maybe for a while"
Sometimes you know you could almost be a child


Oh, must you tell me all your secrets?
When it's hard to love you, knowing nothing
We're living four flights up but I swear

Right now it feels like underground

You are your worst enemy, so don't expect my sympathy

Oh, go back to your mother's house and cry your little heart out
You can drive them back to town in a beat-up Grace Kelly car
Looking like a friend of Truman Capote, looking exactly like you are

Yes, yes I know that's your charm

So don't ask me if I want you, only ask me if I must

I've been blown around so long, don't know which senses to trust
Oh no, but I know that I must


Oh, must you tell me all your secrets?
When it's hard to love you, knowing nothing
We're living four flights up but I swear

Right now it feels like underground
