Kitchens of Distinction — Now Its Time to Say Goodbye

[Verse 1] All the stones inside my head Were carefully removed By the doctor's perfumed scarlet hands She delved in deep for your savage teeth That sparkled diamonds fire blue Eating me and thrilling you The voices have now gone I'm looking forward to living alone [Chorus] Now it's time to say goodbye I won't stay around to be hurt by careless words So here's the jar of your hate Returned complete, sincerely yours, fully restored [Verse 2] But peace perfect peace Could belong to me I'd bottle it For love's like the sea They're hungry gods with careless hands That wrap themselves around our lives So hard to resist They swallowed me, you swallowed me I closed my eyes, I disappeared [Chorus] Now it's time to say goodbye I won't stay around to be hurt by careless words [Guitar Break] [Bridge] No, I suppose it's colder when you're dead Your violent gift, I bottled it Now it's gone, I'm in bloom [Outro] Give me strength give me hope Give me no-one new to hold If I saw you lately what would I say? Give me peace please walk away You have nothing new to say If I saw you falling how wide could I smile? I won't stay around to be hurt by careless words Now it's time to say goodbye I won't stay around to be hurt by careless words
