Shut The Door

I can't listen to you anymore I can't try to understand Your brush strokes on reality Melt every clock in my memory That'll make a woman crazy Which you've been saying all along So I can't listen to you anymore I'll shut my ears, I'll shut the door You've been out too late again Slush-mouthed excuses as you stumble in No, you weren't with her this time More conjurings of my precious mind I spend all my days reciting Evidence that you're still mine Evening's leashed to desperation Will you stay home with me this time? I can't listen to you anymore I can't try to understand Your brush strokes on reality Melt every clock in my memory And that'll make a woman crazy Which you've been saying all along So I can't listen to you anymore I'll shut my ears, I'll shut the door I'll send you off, but you'll come back Say you can't live without my love Buy me flowers, say you're changed Back me up slowly to my cage You'll cry and plead and say you're sorry All of which I've heard before My heart's been ripped a thousand ways And you repair it with scotch tape I can't listen to you anymore I can't try to understand Your brush strokes on reality Melt every clock in my memory And that'll make a woman crazy Which you've been saying all along I can't listen to you anymore I'll shut my ears, I'll shut the door Been through this spin so many times I have to wonder if I'd recognize This is the life I've nursed and bred That knot in my gut's a dear old friend Oooh Oooh
