Lyrics Marc Almond

Marc Almond

Traumas Traumas Traumas

You, unbelievably small

Bang your hands on the wall

Say "To Hell with them all"

Say "To Heaven with you"

Me, what will become of me?

Wading into the sea

Water way past my knees

Swallowing oceans is my speciality

You, like a trembling bird

Hanging on to each word

Crawling out of my sight

Oh how spite makes might

Me, crass stupidity's pawn

Kept us shouting till dawn

Old memories torn

Wishing I'd never been born

(You're losing it, losing it, losing it)

And you, Jack of Diamonds maybe

But the Ace ever me

With each turn of the card

Ever hardening heart

Me, smiling one moment

Crying the next

Building up to explosions

That leave me shipwrecked

You, stubborn brazen and wild

Unpredictable child

Emotional blackmail

Always destined to fail

(You're a failure in love, you're a failure in love)

Me, saying things I regret

I don't want to stop yet

Got to make you break down

Got to make you break uncontrollably down

You, rhinoceros skin

Never, never give in

Never, never giving

Hurts so to see me win

(You're always unforgivably stubborn)

Me, yes a cancer you tell

With the softest of shells

Always ending the same

Taking all of the blame

I'm taking all of the blame

(This is the last time

This is the last time)

Traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas, traumas
