lyrics

Your possessions line my walls, and that coal black stare leaves emerald holes
And there's no one here at all, you don't answer when I call.
I can't keep myself to myself, can't keep myself to my-
I can't get myself off the shelf, can't get myself off the shelf.
You want a man who will be there for you, you want him at your beck and call
A man with class to fill your cocktail glass, a lumberjack who's eight feet tall.
The clock is dripping on the floor, time it pools and burns a hole.
I tried to hide beneath the rug, when I hear you coming up.
I can't keep myself to myself, can't keep myself to my-
I can't get myself off the shelf, can't get myself off the shelf.
You want a man with liquid assetation, you want him with a silver spoon
breakfast in bed, and lunch in free Tibet, you want dinner on the dark side of the moon.
If you would only leave my dreams now woman, if you could crawl out of my skull-
or if that's too much for you, I really must implore you, just get your shit out of my home.
