Take care, take care now mother
This tiger's been tamed
With cigarettes and warm gin
(Never have enough, never have enough)

Lets decorate the cage with blinds
Somethings, somethings
Should be kept from innocent eyes
Yeah, eyes of the beasts
Are hungry but so spineless

Does it hurt when you breathe?
Do you pray in your sleep to entertain?
It's Christmas day tomorrow so I'm begging
Please can we go to sleep, oh?

Separate the coward
And the curse, you won't change
It's not like we have anything
That's left to lose

So come on, come on, let's be brave
Separate the coward
And the curse, you won't change
Say a little prayer then we'll say
There's no one here to blame

Dust here is tangled in the air
Decorate the cage
That's kept clean with blinds

Somethings, somethings
Should be kept from innocent eyes
Yeah, eyes of the beasts
Are hungry but so spineless

Does it hurt when you breathe?
Do you pray in your sleep to entertain?
It's Christmas day tomorrow so I'm begging
Please can we go to sleep, oh?

Separate the coward
And the curse, you won't change
It's not like we have anything
That's left to lose

So come on, come on, let's be brave
Separate the coward
And the curse, you won't change
Say a little prayer then we'll say
There's no one here to blame

Separate from the spineless
Separate from the spineless

Separate the coward
And the curse, you won't change
It's not like we have anything
That's left to lose

So come on, come on, let's be brave
Separate the coward
And the curse, you won't change
Say a little prayer then we'll say
There's no one here to blame
