"Catherine Wheel" lyrics

Hit my head, scratch my back
Leave me on read, get me on track
Pull on the lever, do whatever you feel
Set me on fire like a Catherine wheel

I know a little about a lot of things
And I can teach you how to keep me safe, if that's what you want
It's as easy as setting fire to oil in the ocean
Watch the water burn
I know I went away and it was getting late
But the night was coming oh so closer to the end of the light
And two shadows in the distance met me on my return
There's one of you, and one of someone else

Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh
There's someone else

(Pull on the lever, do whatever you feel)
(Set me on fire like a Catherine wheel)

Say something that feels sticky in my ears
'Cause the words are pouring out of you just like oil on water
I see you floating on the surface, you look so pretty
But there's trouble underneath
And you know that if you wanted you could come back
And I'd take you in my arms and spin you to the end of the light
Oh, in my embrace you fit so nice
But there's something else
There's someone else

Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh
There's someone else
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh
There's someone else

Hit my head, scratch my back
Leave me on read, get me on track
Pull on the lever, do whatever you feel
Set me on fire like a Catherine wheel
Oh my God, I just can't get going
On my own without ever knowing
If I'm gonna see you in a summer dress
I don't wanna see you with someone else

(I don't wanna see you with someone else)
(I don't wanna see you with someone else)

Oh, oh
I know you're doing fine tonight
Laying in his skin under the thin moonlight
(I don't wanna see you with someone else)
Oh, oh
I know that you're doing fine now
But don't lift me up 'cause then you'll never let me down

Hit my head, scratch my back
Leave me on read, get me on track
Pull on the lever, do whatever you feel
Set me on fire like a Catherine wheel
Oh my God, I just can't get going
On my own without ever knowing
If I'm gonna see you in a summer dress
I don't wanna see you with someone else

Oh-oh
I don't wanna see you with someone else
Oh-oh
I don't wanna see you with someone else

Hit my head, scratch my back
Leave me on read, get me on track
Pull on the lever, do whatever you feel
And set me on fire like a Catherine wheel
