Struck dumb

Shady, shameless and hurtful
The bitterest cream makes the best cocktail curdle and
Undream, all that you long for
To throw it all down and retreat into a corner and cry
 
“I want you so bad that it hurts
I want you so bad that it burns right through”
Forever struck dumb, dum dum de do woah a woah
Struck dumb, dum dum de do woah
 
Baby, I’ll not desert you
When carrion crows argue envy is a virtue
They bleed green.  Don’t let your guard down
The magic don’t touch when you curl into a small ball and cry
 
“I want you so bad that it hurts
I want you so bad that it burns right through”
Forever struck dumb, dum dum de doo woah a woah
Struck dumb, dum dum de doo woah a woah
 
Lately, silent survival
Has brilliant thoughts turning grey on arrival
Like old gum: stretched out and worthless
A literate thirst is a hearse when you can’t say the lines
 
“I want you so bad that it hurts
I want you so bad that it burns right through”
Forever struck dumb, dum dum de doo woah a woah
Struck dumb, dum dum de doo woah a woah
