"Richard" lyrics

"Richard"

Richard liked the sound of his own voice
By the kitchen in the mirror
It extracted all of our teeth
Filled the sink with blood
And I am on the cross of forgiveness
He wanted it final, finally

And I ain't afraid to say it
He is strong when it comes to love
And I was driving places in his heart
Bound for endless love
Pushing at the arrow of time
Taking back the hand that is mine

Out there playing cricket with my brother
He is taller than me
Ain't no way to say it other than
I have fallen from you
Pushing at the arrow of time
Taking back the hand that is mine

Richard liked the sound of his own voice
By the kitchen in the mirror
It extracted all of our teeth
Filled the sink with blood
And I am on the cross of forgiveness
He wanted it final, finally

And my record is playing in your heart
The flowers we planted have blown apart
And like an ash of iris I am sinking in the door
We wanted it final
We wanted it finally
