Swervedriver – Spiked Flower lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're gonna say it anyway
So you might as well say it to my face
You keep spiking me
With small doses of love
200 miles an hour
You're a spiked flower
In a white lace dress
I'm under duress
Float in the sky and disarm
There's no betrayal or pain
So why don't you talk to me?

[Verse 2]
Disappointment broken dreams
A safe place where you protect me reborn in your lover's eyes
But hey, why don't you talk to me?
Under constable skies
A mild breeze in the field lies
Giant jellyfish live on land
Ghost ride the whip
Ghost ride the whip
Remember the stars that shone way above your head?
I'm counting down the days until I know about you
Why don't you talk to me? Talk to me
Yeah, why don't you talk to me?

[Verse 3]
When you're set up for a fall
Don't turn your back from the wall
The purge has just begun
From a European son in a field
No need to sit on the fence
With your emotional intelligence
In a white lace dress
So why don't you talk to me?
Disappointment broken dreams
A safe place where you protect me reborn in your lover's eyes
But hey, why don't you talk to me?
But hey, why don't you talk to me?

[Outro]
You're a spiked flower
