Bluebottle Kiss Ounce Of Your Cruelty Lyrics

Ounce Of Your Cruelty Lyrics

You're a waitress who hung out



With the customers too long now



It seems the curtain's closed



And the lights are on



I guess there's going to be no encore for us



You're a mystery in the street



and the men would pay good currency



And you let them down so softly



For an ounce of your cruelty, you would







Leave your house keys in my door



And they'd fit because you want them to



Such coincidence, it always befalls you



It gets so far beyond comedy that







How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane



now ?



Could you just have a heart ?



Give me an ounce of your cruelty, could you







There's a whistle in the street



There's a night so cloaked with secrecy



But I'm keeping my nose clean



I've drawn the curtains closed



Until it's summer and these crickets wake me







And your breath will light the dawn



But you'll wake up with a thorn in your side



Hey it's only me, you should turn it around



And wake me up with your cruelty







How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane



now ?



Could you just have a heart ?



Give me an ounce of your cruelty



How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane



now



Could you just have a heart ?







Give me an ounce of your cruelty



And you'll leave it alone and let it rot



An ounce of your cruelty means



You'll stay at home



And deprive me of your pleasure



Hey could you do that ?







No way around it
