After the Pinch lyrics

[Verse 1]
Between the ads and the papers
Is a shaking voice to be heard
Past the exit doors of this theater
Is it so selfish to want out

[Break]
Staying in your warm arms
Until we part

[Verse 2]
Between the pinch and a nightmare
A man standing by my bedside
I crumbled off into ashes
After the pinch I was crying

I dropped something down in the drain
Couldn't help but wonder what it was
Two dust-bunnies on my lampshade
Half burnt-out sputtering ceiling light

[Break]
Slow haunting, faintly so
Until nothing is there
Staying in your warm arms

[Instrumental outro]
