about

Tim, the trigonometry tutor

lyrics

Air out that dirty laundry and shower me in dust
just make it seem like you're walking away with cool blood
And that you'll piledrive a thirteenth plea for trust
sucks...sometimes it takes an atom bomb to break us
and i don't know why, but i'm sure i've been on both sides of the door
and i don't know why you can't see, but that mercury's been worrying me

Put out that fire burning for half a second's time
find solace in the early morning sunshine
i've walked on red-hot splinters and wandered in the wild
i'm still alive and breathing in the meantime
and i don't know why it cuts deep to see you twist your face at me
and i don't know why you can't see, but that mercury's been worrying me

she said "in time i wish i could love you,
and i wish you could make me move
like the boys back home, with the things you do
but my body's tuned-
to a song and dance, in the open air
i'll bide my time, because i know i'm right
that he's in my hand"
without a condition, i told her to leave my step
those good superstitions bog you down like the rest
and i'm ever a poor man, in silver and soul
and either way it don't matter,
there's no one on the table to be bought or sold
a phoenix feather broke your heart
and in the wind it will blow on home
and i'm going blind and feeling weak, that mercury's been worrying me
and i'm wasting time, and my fever's peaked,
that mercury's been worrying me
