"New Shape" lyrics

Banquets and pearls
Alone at concerts
Make a couple friends
Just to keep them in your pockets

A little money goes a long way
When you're on the coach
A little money goes a long way
When you don't leave the house

You slip out beneath the thumb of my understanding
Every time I think I know you, you shift to a new shape
Your best friend's boyfriend is yours to take
Heart of gold and kettle one
A hug and then a handshake

Begging in silence
Begging for attention
Cutting up my soles
Walking on your eggshells

Someone said they knew you
As measured and cold
Are we talking about the same girl?
'Cause she's the craziest bitch I know

You slip out beneath the thumb of my understanding
Every time I think I know you, you shift to a new shape
Your best friend's boyfriend is yours to take
Heart of gold and kettle one
A hug and then a handshake

I see you and I'm indebted
I love you enough it's hard to breathe
When you change it up on me
When you change it up on me
