So Fast, So Numb - Live From St. James’s Church, London / 2004

[Verse 1]

You're moving through rough waters, motel boy!

And swimming in your sleep

How could I be so blind, missighted

Not to see there's something wounded deep?

Well, anyone could scratch your surface now!

It's all amphetamine

You're blasting yourself into the present

To blur some past indignity, say that

[Pre-Chorus]

You say that you hate it

You want to recreate it

[Chorus]

I've been around, I've been your lover

I let it go, Kill Devil Hill

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel

[Verse 2]

You're drinking raw adrenal, baby

And do-si-do, saddo

You're eating cartilage, shark eyes, shark heart, all present tense

Boy, your blood is running cold

Listen! This is now! This is here! This is me!

This is what I wanted you to see!

That was then, was that, that is gone, that is passed

You cast yourself, cast passed by, thrown down fast

[Pre-Chorus]

You say that you hate it

You want to recreate it

[Chorus]

I've played this round, I've played your lover

I let it go, Kill Devil Hill

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel

Feel it!

[Bridge]

You love it, you hate it

You want to recreate it

Now, this is here, this is me

This is what I wanted you to see

That was then, that was that, that is passed

That is what I wanted you to feel

[Pre-Chorus]

You love it, you hate it

I'm spitting out the bitter pill, woah

[Chorus]

I've been around, I've played your lover

I let it go to the hill

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel!

I've played this round, I've played your lover

I let it go, Kill Devil Hill

You're coming onto something so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel!

You've played around, you played me lover

I got to go to the hill

You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb

That you can't even feel!

Feel!
