Why I Like Babies Songtext
von Butcher Boy

Light falls across our hall
Our letters fall between the bed and wall
I′ve got to leave here soon
Because it's always winter in this sunny room when you′re gone
Even when I rattle blue
Tell me I'm beautiful and I'll be beautiful
Sometimes I talk too much
The words descend and then they smother us
But words don′t matter much
They′re only gutless promises and better haircuts and all


I'm sunk, I′m happy in your car
The engine purrs around our iron hearts
But all the things I need
Are aching and miles ahead of me
I know it's Christmas soon
But baby, I don′t feel like you

So I save my breath
I watch with tired eyes as you seduce yourself
And if it's all the same
I think I′ll take the floor and let you take the blame
See I won't say everybody else is wrong
And I won't ache from lapping with the tiger′s tongue
