Piece of You
Lyrics
It is hoke in the things you will say
It’s so right back here like it was yesterday
If you can’t move forward I’m as good as dead
Was set to open A-King, no ace in my hand
Oh and I’m falling apart like I’ve been known to do
I get ripped wide open on a piece of you
I get ripped wide open on a piece of you
Just a piece of a passing phrase
Oh like a hit screen roll I could be lost for days
As I try to figure what you really meant
Come and turn it over till my mind is spent
But it can’t be fixed by merely thinking through
I get ripped wide open on a piece of you
I get ripped wide open on a piece of you
From time to time I think it isn’t lost
I’m the person bristling and our wires are crossed
It’s a state of face that never seems to end
It makes me act in ways that I cannot defend
I could run right over and I’m aching to
When I get ripped wide open on a piece of you
I get ripped wide open on a piece of you
“Knock Yourself Out”
“Tainted love” (XTC cover)
