Toxic Shellfish In The Sun

Toxic Shellfish In The Sun Lyrics

Well, I really hate to flatter you
But I used to wait by the lamplight
For your vaudeville smile
But you go to extremes, you're a liability

This is the last time I'm leaving
Last time I'm believing that you've changed
And I'm so tired of grieving
The death of something we never had

You in a red storm with summer skin
You were tap dancing, shape shifting
Your purple symphony
Our hearts were like nectarines

This is the last time I'm leaving
The last time I'm believing that you've changed
I'm so tired of grieving
The death of something we never had

Clouds of complication
Hover over you
There's conflict in your coffee
As you step on my words

And our love sits
Like toxic shellfish in the sun
But I know that I'm capable
Of happiness

Yes, I am, yes, I am
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Yes, yes, yes, I am
Yes, yes, yes, I am

This is the last time that I'm leaving
Last time I'm believing that you've changed
'Cause I'm so tired of grieving
The death of something we never had

Oh, this is the last time
This is the last time
