Clear Thoughts of Morning

[Verse 1]

I'm not much of a charmer

Just a boy who grinds his teeth

The boy who grinds the coffee beans

She sees me underwater when she skates my icy creek

And she wonders what the blade marks mean

[Verse 2]

The season of the snow man

The season of the pine tree

Weeping needles, fresh from winds beating

As a blanket, I am fleeting

As a mirror, she's lost to me

And I'm sure her scarf and mittens disagree

[Chorus]

Tell me what am I supposed to say when you're kissing me awake

Just before you're crying, "I should leave" 'cause you're ashamed

Sometimes we're both no good

Sometimes we're both no good

So go on, run

[Verse 3]

'Cause all them dolls got eyes and could illustrate them pretty

My love, her eyes go unadorned and see right through me

I cannot avoid clear thoughts of morning

If she wants to leave me, she should leave me without warning

[Chorus]

What am I supposed to say when you're kissing me awake?

Just before you're crying, "I should leave" 'cause you're ashamed

Sometimes we're both no good

Sometimes we're both no good

So go on, run

Go on

Go on, oh

Sometimes we're both no good

Sometimes we're both no good

So go on, run

Go on
