A momentary lapse in concentration

I got sucked into the oil spill, into the wallpaper

I was tryna make your picture out

I drew, and drew, and drew you

Still I couldn't get the likeness

The portrait stared there, lifeless

And that's how I knew

I'd lost it for you

I guess there's no one else, save myself, to speak to

I guess there's nothing left to do but sleep

(One, two, three, four)

I ordered treasure from the intеrnet

The kind that only lasts a night

That falls apart in taxis

Or frees itself on dancе floors

Here in the glow of news and night shows

I fear we're not worth weightless gold

Was I dripping over you, my mouth full of teeth?

Your eyes stoned with boredom, my hands shall be claws then

(I guess there's nothing left to do, ooh-ooh)

Of course that's when

I knew I'd lost it for you

I understood I'd lost it for good

I guess there's no one else, save myself, to speak to

I guess there's nothing left to do but sleep

Seabird, I've lost it for you

I guess there's nothing left to do

I've lost it for you

I guess there's nothing left

I drew, and drew, and drew you

I drew, and drew, and drew

And drew, and drew you

I guess there's nothing left to do

(And drew)

I guess there's nothing left

(I fall apart in taxis)

(I free myself on dance floors)

(I fall apart in taxis)
