Lyrics
Gaining On You
Last night you tried to catch me
In a dark and a desperate dream,
I was running down a rain-soaked street
Trying to catch a train,
And you, oh you were on my heels
Out of the past you flew,
But you couldn’t see
What was gaining on you.
You wore a cashmere sweater,
You were sporting a black beret,
You were quoting Karl Marx all night
Sipping Cerevisiae,
And you were oh, so beautiful
For just a frame or two,
But you couldn’t see
What was gaining on you.
You’re daddy’s rage, the glint of a blade,
You crumpled and fell
And you could not be saved
You reached out for me
As the ground gave way,
The ground gave way.
I woke up half past midnight
Stumbled to the sink
I wiped the sweat from my brow,
I poured myself a drink,
And you, where do you sleep tonight
Are you still pursued?
Is that scared little child still gaining on you?
I hope you’re safe tonight.
You’re daddy’s rage, the glint of a blade,
You crumpled and fell
And you could not be saved
You reached out for me
As the ground gave way,
The ground gave way.
Last night you tried to catch me
In a dark and a desperate dream.
