The Cure - A Foolish Arrangement lyrics

rate me

christabel strips

and slips like a dream

breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain

disdain...

she throws her head

and glides against the stream

throwing me her bravest smile

defiant

glittering

shivering guile

"catching a cold is quick this time

but fish?...

fish may take a while... "

christabel dips and slips from me

and hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free

triumphant

reluctantly

struggling six legs held up for me to see

"don't be so scared

it's nothing new

it's the same old game

only fun with two... "

but fast and over and over

"i can't play this game with you"

everything she tries to tell me

leaves me open mouthed and still

foolishly arrange tomorrow

the way i always will

christabel trips

and grips my hand

but never to be saved...

for a second i understand

and i fall with her...

"i'll never leave you

love you

see you change into the man i want

but it's not for long this thing

it's not for long... "
