lyrics

PERFECT COMPLAINT

You went on the rail
Sharp and tough as nails
You forged a narrow path
Now it’s closing in on you

Curves cut straight as rain
Purity a powder stain
These habits don’t die hard
They live a thousand lives
And they hasten the day
They hasten the day

The train has jumped the track
A crash, a clang,
A fading memory
Her voice calls back to me
The message is unclear
The message is unclear

Your lips they softy whisper
sweet things In my ear
Your mouth it murmurs to me
such little sweet things
such little sweet things
such little sweet things

They chase away the fear

Until I come down
Until you‘re unbound
Until we come around to realize
Just how close we’ve come
To coming all undone
To coming all undone
To coming all undone

You’re a runaway train
I’m a man with no saint
I’m a runaway train
You’re a perfect complaint
We’re a blip on a map
I’m a beacon of blight
You’ve been flagged for review
(tap tap tap tap)

And they’re coming for you
Yes, they’re coming for you

You’re a runaway train
I’m a man with no saint
I’m a runaway train
You’re a perfect complaint

You’re a perfect complaint

You’re a runaway train
I’m a man not a saint
I’m a runaway train
You’re a perfect complaint
You’re a blip on a map
I’m a beacon of blight
We’ve been flagged for review
Nothing much left to do
But surrender desire

Surrender desire

They’ll be humming this tune
Cursing under their breath
They’ll be coming for us
’Til our very last breath

Coming for to bury me whole
Coming for to leave you alone

Coming for to bury you whole
Coming for to leave me alone

Coming for to bury me whole
Coming for...

You’re a runaway train
I’m a man with no saint
I’m a runaway train
You’re a perfect complaint
You’re a blip on a map
I’m a beacon of blight
We’ve been flagged for review
Take a look at us two
