LYRICS:
She sat in her diamond throne whilst claiming poverty
He was from the wrong side of the tracks she said, “boy that don’t bother me
Coz you got it all and I can in the darkness is where you dwell.”
Chorus
In the dark you dwell!
She had a face like thunder and the thighs to match
Now the weight’s dropping off her and she’s so detached
She’s got a love affair with speed, he’s on smack
I guess they’re right, yeah opposites do attract
He’s far from a hero, she’s far from a heroin
Pick a poison, pick a needle, pick a vein and put the venom in
She pictures his buzz as the opposite of adrenalin
He dabbles in darkness that she has never been in
You carry me more than I carry you
He sold his guitars and fishing rods for tackle
He took 30p for each DVD lugging them home was more hassle
Than it was worth, than what they’re worth, when there’s no worth then everything’s cursed
She waited for him on a single dirty mattress
He knocked on the window, she let him in because that was their practice
He dumped his jacket on the floor, barely looked at the cradle, removed his hat, closed the curtains then chucked the wrap on the table
She said I wanna feel like you do for just one day. He burnt the foil she sucked the biro and drifted away...
She sank in the murky lake whilst craving clarity
Now she’s got tracks all up and down her arms and he’s like, “girl that don’t bother me
Because you got it all and I can tell and now we’re shadows. In the dark we dwell!”
