Woke Up Next To A Body - Hostage Calm

Such a cheap game, pretending

To win a father’s blessing

When we’ve been downstairs undressing

Knowing not the time it takes…

Your thoughts start to stray, and

You see the paleness in me

You hear the lonely bars of Nassau singing

You to sleep…

I woke up next to a body

That didn’t belong to me

Had me feeling like a sinner on Sunday

Had me feeling like your father would hate me

Over hill, over dale, baby we left an ugly trail

But I always thought it’d lead somewhere we’d rest

Now on my back I obsess

The thought of you unimpressed

By the things I do

The things I say

The way you talk to me

I woke up next to a body

That didn’t belong to me

Had me feeling like a sinner on Sunday

And I see it hiding

In your sullen, sunken face

You’ve decided

Do you think you know how this ends?

Living as distant friends

No longer young and in love and

At war with the world
