Rubber on Rubber
You're rubber cement
Stick like glue if only me and you
Were the proper sort of materials
As it is you just rub away
I just rub you away
This dress flares from my thighs
Like little droplets of blood
Funny, how my heart is bleeding
Look closely, can't you see it?
Soft hands and glossy nails
It's all I can do not to bite them away
No, I don't understand you
No I can't wrap my mind around you
So I just wrap my arms around you
And we fit and it's just that simple
Can we go back and make it simple?
And I'm pulled taut like a rubber band
I've stretched as far as I can reach
And all I'm reaching for is me
Can you calm me down now?
Can you explain it all, please?
I don't understand, now
There's nothing wrong with this
You're amazing
So close to perfect it scares me
There's nothing to be found here
No mystery or lies
So why am I hunting?
Oh no it's not you, I'm sorry
Oh no it's all me, I'm sorry
Pull me back from the edge
I don't understand and will I ever
I'm creating my own confusion
Rubber on rubber
We'll keep on rubbing
Until one of us falls apart
(Honey I have this feeling it will be you)
The friction drives me wild
It puts me on the edge
And leaves me there long after you are gone
And I'm mad about you
And I so want you
But how many times can you loosen me
Before you realise it's not meant to be?
No this isn't an ultimatum
No this isn't a secret I've been keeping
No this isn't something important, at all
It's confusion and my mind just whirling
Hold my hand and it's so simple
Hold me tight and it's so simple
But don't let me start thinking
It never leads to anything good
No, don't let me start speaking
I never say anything good
I'd rather fall to pieces than hurt you
Stick like glue if only me and you
Were the proper sort of materials
As it is you just rub away
I just rub you away
This dress flares from my thighs
Like little droplets of blood
Funny, how my heart is bleeding
Look closely, can't you see it?
