Chinese Arithmetic lyrics

Candle light, it burns in every hole of your eyes

It's beautiful, how much you'll never realize

So hush my love, there's something I'm to tell you now

Your time has come, around again my sleepless one

Your friend was young, hung and plastered

He never knew his own disaster

I think it's good, in fact it was faster

Cause it was you that he was after

Hold me now, as if you'll never let me go

Unhand me now, as if you've always known my name

His love was king, his love was master

He needed more, he needed always

He searched in vein for love and shelter

In every soul, in every hallway

So you thought she'd be sweeter than your girlfriend Peter

Well give it a second chance cause you've yet to meet her

We got the same ideas, we got the same old fears

They're different colors sometimes, but, hey, who cares?

Just years that tears our lives apart

Just like the time that you tried to teach your cousin to walk

He couldn't do it-push!-you told him twice

Well, I do man but it just don't jive

Tried so hard to control my behavior

I tried so hard, so hard to believe you

But now I live only to deceive you...

So KICK and SCREAM!!!
