Four Flights Up Lyrics by Lloyd Cole

Four Flights Up Lyrics

    I was woken up at four a.m. by your screams and anguished cries
    Your mother was singing in the bathroom, she will never be my child
    Oh baby talks in her sleep so loud
    We're living four flights up but i swear right now it feels like underground
    Well you have absolutely no common sense, yes i know that's your charm
    You spend the whole day on the phone, you say well it helps you stay calm
    You cling to my arm, yes i know that's your charm
    And when i ask you what you want you say do you mind hey crocodile
    Well then could you give me some peace, you say well maybe for a while
    Sometimes you know you could almost be a child
    Oh must you tell me all your secrets
    When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing
    We're living four flights up but i swear right now it feels like underground
    You are your own worst enemy, so don't expect my sympathy
    Oh go back to your mother's house and cry your little heart out
    You can drive them back to town in a beat-up grace kelly car
    Looking like a friend of truman capote, looking exactly like you are
    Yes, yes i know that's your charm
    So don't ask me if i want you, only ask me if i must
    I been blown around so long, don't know which senses to trust
    Oh no, but i know that i must
    Oh must you tell me all your secrets
    When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing
    We're living four flights up but i swear right now it feels like underground
