lyrics

Lucy takes the long way home

Meets me in a field of stone

She says I don't know how I'm supposed to feel

My body's cold my guts are twisted steel

I feel like I'm some kind of frankenstein

Waiting for a shock to bring me back to life

But I don't want to spend my time

Waiting for lightning to strike

Underneath a concrete sky

Lucy puts her hand in mine

She says life's a game we're meant to lose

But stick by me and I will stick by you

I'm like a princess in a castle high

Waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life

But I don't want to spend my time

Waiting for just another guy
