Climbing up a ladder to see the Milky Way I peel off the lid and stare into the space I've made Hollow inside and I'm cold on the out I can't help wonderin' what she's all about When all I can muster of a real thing Is hanging by a thread and killing me Colonised by a parasite This growing inside's got a beating heart There's nowhere to hide from the very start A fait accompli, fait accompli Sleep now and rest your skin on me Walking up a corridor to a distant face I wait at the door in awe of the mess I've made Follow the doctor and take their advice Until they get it wrong, you never think twice When all I can muster of a real thing Is hanging by a thread and killing me I cannot hold a virtue when I'm losing my patience This growing inside's got a beating heart There's nowhere to hide from the very start A fait accompli, fait accompli Sleep now and rest your skin on me This growing inside's got a beating heart There's nowhere to hide from the very start A fait accompli, fait accompli Sleep now and rest your skin on me
