Lyrics: Gruff Rhys. Hotel Shampoo. Take A Sentence.


Colour my senses in crayon,
Take me to task when there's reason,
To judge me for lustre or treason,
I cease to exist in the dark,
I turn my face towards the sun.

Take a sentence and repeat until,
The siren sings

They airbrushed the outcome,
And swept it aside,
An easy acquaintance would stay by my side,
Through trials infected by poisonous minds,
In sulphur clouds they sat behind.

The struggle to conform,
The comfort we seek,
Maintaining a semblance of how we perceived,
The future that faced us when we all began,
Our journey from Mother to woman and man.

They'll sweep you up,
To skies up high,
Erase your memory away.

Take a sentence and repeat until,
The siren sings
