Chance dreams that cut across the bed 
leaving colours there instead 
See lines that draw it to an end 
ignore them 

And if I say how I feel again 
is it wise to do it? 
Or like hearing for the umpteenth time 
some despise 

Don't you fall asleep 
there's lots of things 
I need to say 
that just won't keep 

Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 
Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 

And with my fears in the back of my mind 
will they gang up on me? 
And when I least expect them to 
they'll devour me 

Don't you turn aside 
your tired ears 
must hear me out 
there's nowhere to hide 

Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 
Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 

Don't you turn aside 
your tired ears 
must hear me out 
there's nowhere to hide 

Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 
Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 
(And with my fears in the back of my mind 
will they gang up on me?) 
Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah) 
(And when I least expect them to 
they'll devour me) 
Sweet, sweet-sweet-sweet catatonia 
I should have told you (ah ah)
