149

[Verse 1]

Confession 149

The incidents of 12th July

I’ve played them over in my mind

I wake screaming in my cell each night

Swear to God it weren’t my fault

I been schizo since the day Luella threw

Her engagement rings in the water

And issued her restraining orders

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you need it?

Do you want it?

Now you got it

What you waiting for?

[Chorus 1: Tallulah Eden]

Oh no don’t tell me I got the wrong idea

I built an image you can’t live up to

I think I’m falling in love with what I fear

I’m just in love with the fiction of you

[Verse 2]

In the Chrysanthemum hotel

I wrote her name on every page

Of the Holy Bible and the Psalms

But I didn’t learn a fucking thing

So I took a drop of Methadone

And took a taxi to our home

I split the blood of our firstborn

And painted him across your door

[Chorus 1: Tallulah Eden]

Oh no don’t tell me I got the wrong idea

I built an image you can’t live up to

I think I’m falling in love with what I fear

I’m just in love with the fiction of you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2: Tallulah Eden]

Oh no don’t tell me I got the wrong idea

I built an image you can’t live up to

I think I’ve fallen in love with what I fear

Helsinki syndrome, it creeps up on you
