lyrics

She reads Plath in the bath
and sings Patti in the shower
won't dry your teary eyes you cry
over Rosa's final hour
the shallow callow faces
surround you now

And they all just laughed
at the ruins of your glad rags
gazing at the white walls

Read from your diary
'I felt so shit today'
then I read it aloud
'oh how I wish I could run away
and on white washed walls
I'll scrawl words I could never say
I'll never say'

I was so cold here
and lonely too
gazing at the white walls

And you never touch me now
darling do you

Saw death and the lady
were meeting tonight
vanishing out of sight and sipping
her best friend's crocodile tears

So cold here
and lonely too
gazing at the white walls
