Looking at my watch, pulling at my hair You could cut the atmosphere with a knife in here It's time, it's time Everything is quiet, sat here in the dark Frozen on the spot are the hands of the clock It's time, I said it's time Bossa nova I'm a devoter Dancing away my failures Scratch the surface So that I hurt less Get me a thicker skin To love you is the worst thing That I can do, it's the worst thing I am hanging on a wire And yes, I do regret So now I must forget At the kitchen table sat with head in hands Tragedy awaits so I really must escape It's time, it's time All of me suppressed, nothing is alive Knocking at the doctor's office so that I survive It's time, my god it's time Bossa nova I'm a devoter Dancing away my failures Scratch the surface So that I hurt less Get me a thicker skin To love you is the worst thing That I can do, it's the worst thing I am hanging on a wire And yes, I do regret So now I must forget The 2nd of November If you care to remember Was the day we first met And who'd have thought A year or two down the line That we'd have messed it all up Second in command No longer in demand An underlying hunger hits me Understandably I'm struggling to come to terms with this To love you is the worst thing That I can do, it's the worst thing I am hanging on a wire And yes, I do regret So now I must forget So now I must forget
