"Cat's Cradle" lyrics

I've been collecting all your pictures
I've been dressing in your clothes
I've been translating all our planets
You send me messages in code

I think I've seen you in the movies
You look so tall up on that screen
Your tears are silver light and plastic
It doesn't mean a thing to me

Now I spend my days dreaming about you
'Cause you're so cool
And I spend my nights twisted up for you
'Cause you're so cruel
Oh no! I'm dreaming again
All I want is you
I'm frightened by the world
You're the only one who turns me on

When I touch myself I feel you near me
I chase the light that chases you
My fingers tapping on the mirror
Only your voice can pull me through

I walked through the rain to come and see you
To touch the edges of your world
You tie my insides up, cat's cradle
I'd crawl through hell to be your girl

Now I spend my days dreaming about you
'Cause you're so cool
And I spend my nights twisted up for you
'Cause you're so cruel
Oh no! You don't know my name
But I would die for you
I'm frightened by the world
You're the only one who turns me on
