Maximo Park - Russian Dolls lyrics

Electric cables Beneath the Atlantic There's a radar Beneath the black water Rain flecks the paint Inevitably At the end of the telescope By the pier I know you'd rather I didn't say That I want to look after you But I'd expect you to say the same For me someday This knowledge gives me no pleasure You can't k** yourself before you're born Particles like Russian dolls Folding items ever smaller Grey wire fences Section off the wilderness A lonely cluster of woodland stands apart Like the fingers of a hand Gently browning Flat sections of cheap paint Float by like bu*terflies I know you'd rather I didn't say That I want to look after you But I'd expect you to say the same To me someday My demeanour is made to measure Nothing stirs beneath the farce of daily life Particles like Russian dolls Folding items ever smaller If life never ended we'd have no urgency Connect to boredom and repetition Particles like Russian dolls Folding items ever smaller If life never ended we'd have no urgency Connect to boredom and repetition
