Lyrics Martha Wainwright

Martha Wainwright

I Wanna Make An Arrest

I don't mind being left behind

I no longer care where the sound is coming from

I can't hear the tears in your eyes

I am always, always in disguise

I wanna make an arrest

And stop time and this test

And lie down in the road

And you're still at home

And you're still at home

Pavement is changing under my feet

I no longer walk with chin high or skip to the beat

I need to lie down

It's terminal, see

I'm feelin' the pain

I've got the disease

Oh, I wanna make an arrest

And stop time and this test

And lie down in the road

And you're still at home

And you're still at home

Take off your shoes

And stay awhile

I've been here waitin' to see your smile

Summer's comin' and the night's are long

I've been here listenin', cryin' to your song

Oh, I wanna make an arrest

And stop time and this test

And lie down in the road

And you're still at home

And you're still at home

Running against the clock

Color blind all this time

I went for a ride

And I left your side

Now I'm in the lost and found

And you're not around

And there's no one I can see who can help me

I wanna make an arrest

And stop time and this test

And lie down in the road

And you're still at home

I wanna make an arrest

And stop time and this test

And pick up the phone

And you're still at home

And you're still at home...
