Franz Ferdinand — Swallow Smile

[Verse 1] I rise and curse the waking day Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air On the skin of the bed I'm tied within Hiding from the twitch and crash Of the mood, I hear you hatch You're the mother growing cold You're the bath now running old I can feel the wall between us Separate the filthy scene As I push the door aside [Chorus] Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile Swallow [Post-Chorus] But it's alright, I lie It's okay, I lie It's so fine, I lie It's alright, I It's okay, here's another lie It's so fine, here's another lie It's so, woo, hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm [Verse 2] I wander 'round the gulf between us Wonder how I came to feel As fragile as a broken bone As useless — I'm a broken bone Come on, let's fight, let's feel alive Come on, let's fight, let's feel alive It's the only feeling I've kept towards you That resembles any passion Any tremble, any word I'll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on I'll return it, give me more Give me, I'll [Chorus] Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile Swallow, swallow, swallow, smile Swallow [Post-Chorus] But it's alright, I lie It's okay, I lie It's so fine, I It's alright, I It's okay, here's another lie It's so fine, here's another lie It's so, hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm [Outro] Well, our love was easy waiting And everything was easy now Our days were oh so numbered, ooh But oh, baby, how I miss you
