Even though you think
to push me from the bath into the sink
I can still get clean

from everything obscene

So just pass me the soap

and I will scrub so hard to have the hope
that one day I'll be free
and flies won't follow me


But if the bath is black
and the soap is old

you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
try as you might
everything you've done has been washed out


and you're not coming home to


All this mess undressed
I'll put you to the test just try your best
Put your apron on

I feel it's been too long

Since you last made me laugh

instead my hands have stuck to you with tar
and I can't get them off
I leave prints on the clock


But if the bath is black
and the soap is old

you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
try as you might


everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
and you're not coming home tonight
you're not coming home

tonight
you're not coming home
x4

tonight
(all this mess undressed)
you're not coming home

(i'll put you to the test just try your best)
x4


Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
{tonight}
(all this mess undressed)

You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
{you're not coming home}
(i'll put you to the test just try your best)


try as you might everything you've
{tonight}

(all this mess undressed)
try as you might everything you've
{you're not coming home}

(i'll put you to the test just try your best)

The bath is black and the soap is old

You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Try as you might
Everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours


And you're not coming home tonight
