Lyrics for I Was Surprised

Doctor finding it hard to deal with You would not seek relief Had to see the very centre of it With me in tow Having tasted the kiss of that stain We've got a need in common A life in common In name in common We take thread and follow Safe on that fray While I'm saying Red colour blooming up the earth's face Forcing you rapture most days And I was surprised That we could walk like that She'll touch your arm Just at the back Lightly and still As she was trained to And all around Your pain is like that Is like that When it comes blistering like that You choose a song Even if Stated to wait it out Hard to know And like the way a pendulum Can prove the earth is turning Hope this wild swing In out of pain Is proving you something Something firm Some blue found For there isn't much To brace against on in When it comes blistering like that You choose a song There's a rhyme Hard to do What is that Hard to know When it's struck with the left Do you like that he's peeling away? Now sharp with the right Do you like that too? Soft ended force is Soft and it does what it does to you Fold up too big to clutch Instead graffitied like the harm Being done to you is mud Kicked forever into the grub By the boot above Danger with the smallest knock And quicker into love With its illusions And hear that jackboot thud Even if the beatings stop Just at my window I do nothing I'm off on my way home Academic every thought Still content he's hot Oh wanting to break my jaw Oh wanting to break my jaw
