Four Flights Up Lyrics

I was woken up at four A.M. By your screams and anguished cries Your mother was singing in the bathroom She will never be my child Oh baby, talks in her sleep so loud
We're living four flights up But I swear right now it feels like underground
Well, you have absolutely no common sense Yes, I know that's your charm You spend the whole day on the phone You say, well, it helps you stay calm You cling to my arm, yes, I know that's your charm
And when I ask you what you want You say, "Do you mind, hey, crocodile" Well, then could you give me some peace You say, "Well, maybe for a while"
Sometimes you know you could almost be a child Oh, must you tell me all your secrets When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing
We're living four flights up [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/four-flights-up-lyrics-lloyd-cole.html ] But I swear right now it feels like underground
You are your own worst enemy So don't expect my sympathy Oh, go back to your mother's house And cry your little heart out
You can drive them back to town In a beat-up Grace Kelly car Looking like a friend of Truman Capote Looking exactly like you are Yes, yes, I know that's your charm
So don't ask me if I want you Only ask me if I must I've been blown around so long Don't know which senses to trust Oh no, but I know that I must
Oh, must you tell me all your secrets When it's hard enough to love you knowing nothing We're living four flights up But I swear right now it feels like underground
