Lyrics Brendan Perry

Brendan Perry

Sloth

Sometimes when I'm alone

I imagine that the world is a mirror

And in minds eye behold my dark inner nature

I've been wasting time on this time honoured whore

'Til I get so confused I can't see anymore

And I have crawled where I should have seen the signs

Dragging my feet when I could have been flying

Sometimes when I'm sad

I drink to the health of my torment

And dance at the altar

To the tune of a drunken black tango

I've been wasting time on this time honoured whore

'Til I get so confused I can't see anymore

Wasted my youth trying to settle old scores

Dragging my feet when I could have been flying

Dragging my feet when I could have been flying

Dragging my feet
