Deadwing
Porcupine Tree
[Verse 1]
And something warm and soft just passed through here
It took the precious things that I hold dearer
It rifled through the cling and disappeared
The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer

[Chorus 1]
Like a cancer scare, in a dentist chair
Sucking in the air, wire across the stair
Kicking down the door at your local store
When your world of bore forces through the floor
Unexpected news, wearing high-heeled shoes
Blowing out the fuse, paying all your dues
Tempering lullaby, like a fractured tie
It's a worthless lie to the public eye

[Verse 2]
I don't take waifs and strays back home with me
My bleeding heart does not extend to charity

[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Yes I'd have to say I like my privacy
Did you know you're on closed-circuit TV?
So smile at me

[Chorus 2]
And a dream you had, of your mom and dad
On a beach somewhere, and the boys aren't there
With the cancer threat in a cigarette
Deadwing lullaby, find a place to hide

[Verse 3]
And from the yellow windows of the last train
A specter from the next life breathes his bargain of pain
I look with you into the speeding black rain
Afraid to touch someone, afraid to ask her for a name

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
And in the morning when I find I have lost you
I throw a window open wide and step through
Write the lyrics for a rock song made in 2005, titled "Deadwing", by artist "Porcupine Tree".
