Franz Ferdinand - Swallow, Smile Lyrics

I rise and curse the waking day 
Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air 
And on the skin of the bed I'm tied within 
Hiding from the twitch and crash 
Of the mood I hear you hatch 
You're the mother growing cold 
You're the bath now running old 
I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene 
As I push the door aside - swallow, swallow, swallow, smile 

I wander round the gulf between us 
Wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone 
As useless - I'm a broken bone 
Come on let's fight let's feel alive 
Come on let's fight let's feel alive 
It's the only feeling I've kept towards you 
That resembles any passion, any tremble, any word, 
I'll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on, I'll return it 
Give me more, give me, I'll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile 

But it's alright, I lie 
It's alright, here's another
