The Belly Of Your Bedroom Lyrics & Chords By The Smith Street Band

Our hero sits unsteadily on a highway rocking chair
Bottle of white wine, the wind it ruffles his well-cut hair
And her eyes they focus backwards to the people that he needs
They hold my instruments and my backup, and shirts with cut off sleeves
She told me that she kissed you and then she told me more
Our hero knows I'm angry and he knows that I'm a bore
I'm sad when it is raining, when the sun comes I'm a freak
Our hero lives in mild temperatures and gets eight hours sleep
And I know that I'm a liar
And I know I can't fill your desires
With a body that's always gonna let the both of us down
And half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never should have told you
My demise is only gonna let one of us down
And darling I'm going
My back it aches for transport, I can hardly feel my feet
My stitches are slowly but surely falling out of me
I know I'm not exciting but I never claimed to be
And I'll live for this morning, and I will live and let you leave
And I don't understand why we have to be on standby while you're overseas
Can't you be free and still know me?
And our hero keeps his secrets locked up somewhere in his teeth
Maybe I'll break one or two just to hear him speak
And I know that I'm a liar
And I know I can't fill your desires
With a body that's always gonna let the both of us down
And half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never should have told you
My demise is only gonna let one of us down
And darling I'm going
To find somewhere for us to sleep
And darling I'm going to work on every single inch of me
And darling I'm going to find somewhere for us to sleep
And darling I'm going to keep on living, to keep on living
To keep on keeping on
And I know that I'm a liar
And I know I can't fill your desires
With a body that's always gonna let the both of us down
And half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
And half lies that I never should have told you
My demise is only gonna let one of us down
And darling I'm going
Down
