Sweet Melancholy

Sweet melancholy was such a hungry beast Sleeps in total darkness and purrs like a machine Tell me that I'm pretty, tell me you'll never leave Nobody likes the lonely, or perhaps they don't like me Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms And it's sweet irony that we are such good friends I thought that I'd escaped you, but all good things can end I think you look a bit like Jesus, God bless the low and blue Nobody likes the lonely, but I am tied to you Sweet Melancholy Take me back into your loving arms Sweet Melancholy Take me back into your loving arms God bless, the optimist Pink velvet, the madness The hopeful and the ugly Alone Again Sweet Melancholy Take me back into your loving arms Sweet Melancholy Take me back into your loving arms
