lyrics

WASH AWAY

You walk the line, but never cross the chalk.
How your tongue wags, but you don’t seem to talk.

Rubies in your good dreams. You always wanted fame.
Now, the rats have got your diamonds, they’ve even robbed you of your name.

Is there something wrong, dear? Or is it just tonight?
Is something going on here? Oh, you know you might be right.
But, if you don’t stop your crying, we’re both going to wash away.

I see your tears. Your eyes are turning red.
You blow a kiss. Was it something that I said?

The money in your pocketbook,≠ now is that all a dream?
You’ve dragged yourself through all these lies. Now, everything’s what it seems.

Is there something wrong, dear? Or is it just tonight?
Is something going on here? Oh, you know you might be right.
But, if you don’t stop your crying, we’re both going to wash away.

Surrender.
Then I’ll slap your wrists.
Don’t give up.
Don’t give up all of this.

Is there something wrong, dear? Or is it just tonight?
Is something going on here? Oh, you know you might be right.
But, if you don’t stop your crying, we’re both going to wash...
But, if you don’t stop your crying, we’re both going to wash...
But, if you don’t stop your crying, we’re both going to wash away
