Just Be Glad That No One Saw You by Tigers on Trains Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the bones in my back
Start to rally up aginst me
And my veins tighten up
And constrict like snakes
In the choir you stand
Start to read from the Quran
I can do my part and not me

[Verse 2]
So I kneel down in the fireplace
So the ashes can clean my face
But I don't know what suffering is
But I find that out if it will clear your sins

[Verse 3]
If you froze to death
I would lay on the table
And I would fix you up with metal parts
And I would sew you shut
With the strings from your mother's harp
And I would run you down
Just to test your heart
[Verse 4]
So I lie down for a month at a time
Let the moss grow on my northern side
And I shake it off every time you're near
But there's just no point you can see me clear
No more

[Verse 5]
So I'll change my shape
Into that of Dionysus
And I will tie you up
With screeching vines
And I will take you down
To the coastline where I'll feed you
To the great white whale that haunts your mind
And he will spit you out
And you'll be a different person
With your serpent soul all rearranged

[Outro]
So what's done is done
Just be glad that no one saw you
When you disappeared
Into desert air
