Walking with you through the courtyard where everything is marble and smooth
 You said the idea of perfection was just fundamentally [bad word] 
 and talked about joining the circus and trading your face for a mask.

 I know you want to I just don't believe that you can.

 We made quite a pair in the morning, we both tend to traffic in dreams.
 Seeing it now from the outside you kept all your dark ones from me,
 and said that you'd planned to go rambling as you sat on that big windowsill.

 I know you want to I just don't believe that you will.

 You long to go hide in the bramble or fall off the face of the earth.
 You wish you could live with the beggars on the steps of some [bad word] church.
 You said that you'd like to go hungry but the [bad word] is you just had your fill.

 I know you want to I just don't believe that you will.

 On Sundays you stroll through the market and feel like you've traveled through time,
 buying back all your possessions that were stolen in some former life.
 Return to me tied in a corset to say don't you know who I am.

 I know you want to I just don't believe that you can. 
 Yes I know you want to I just don't believe that you can.

 Been trying to make an invention, something the world's never seen,
 to sweep away all of the trouble and leave the place shiny and clean.
 Patent your brave new creation and hold it right there in your hand. 

 I know you want to I just don't believe that you can.

 I waited for you at the landing, the water was crystal and calm.
 All these ideas of forever are just fundamentally wrong.
 You say that your love makes you honest then you're caught with your in the till.

 I know you want to I just don't believe that you will.
 Yes I know you want to I just don't believe that you will.
