Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It took a while but I don't mind
How does my body look in this light?
It took a while but I don't mind
How do I look now, how do I look now?
[Verse 2]
I've stopped my thoughts
It's the only way of keeping sensations from creeping up on me
And crushing whatever's keeping me going
I just can't let my mind wander
It always takes a dodgy street and I get nervous
And just retreat
[Verse 3]
But this is slowly killing me
This is slowly destroying me
This is slowly decaying me
But I am home now I can let myself fall
[Verse 4]
It took a while but I don't mind
How does my body look in this light?
It took a while but I don't mind
How do I look now, how do I look now?
[Verse 5]
Maybe I'd expected more or it was just my lack of vision
But after years this 4x4 just wasn't as I had imagined
And your head is on my pen, is on my bed
It's hard to right your wrongs but you won't admit your flaws
And oh God they're beautiful
[Verse 6]
But this is slowly killing me
This is slowly destroying me
This is slowly decaying me
But I am home now I can let myself fall
[Verse 7]
It took a while but I don't mind
How does my body look in this light?
It took a while but I don't mind
How do I look now, how do I look now?
[Verse 8]
It took a while but I don't mind
How does my body look in this light?
It took a while but I don't mind
How do I look now, how do I look now?
[Verse 9]
It took a while (But I don't mind)
It took a while (How does my body look in this light? )
It took a while (But I don't mind)
It took a while (How does my body look in this light? )
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
It took a while
[Verse 10]
Someday you will have my head you will have my head on a silver plate
Oh spread me over the Liffey and sing me off to sleep
I wanna take you with me to wash and dry your feet
