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-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
 Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa

 Baby, I’ll not desert you
 When Carrion crows argue envy’s 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-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
 Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo

 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-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
 Struck Dumb, dum-dum-di-do oh-woa-a-wo
