Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Push him away
No, no, no
No, no, no
Don't let him stay
[Verse 2]
He gets inside to stare at her
The seeping mouth, the mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh, smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way, it's the only way to be
[Verse 3]
It's the only way to be, yeah
[Verse 4]
Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time
Written by: Robert James Smith
