Nathalie

Do I look different

I’ve used another soap

And it’s unfastened

The pressure from the tap

Is running cold

And it’s your birthday

That’s fallen on the roof

I spilt your drink

Manipulated

On the pile of coats and shoes

Thrashing dogs held in a cage

And arms stretched out on rollerblades

Slow motion picture memories

Have started eating Nathalie

So, now you like me

It locks from the inside

A heavyweight escaped

And climbed down from

The ladder in your tights

And from the chimneys

We shouted at the moon

It started swelling

You know that fractured buds

Will never bloom

And I’ve known heroes

With bloodstains on their jeans

Perhaps pathetic

I’m addicted to the way

You talk to me

Thrashing dogs held in a cage

And arms stretched out on rollerblades

These all-consuming memories

Have you heard from Nathalie

Thrashing dogs held in a cage

And arms stretched out on rollerblades

Slow motion picture memories

Have started eating Nathalie

Slow motion picture memories

Have you heard from Nathalie

These all-consuming memories

Have started eating Nathalie
