Verse 2:
Your skin crawls up
an octave, your teeth have lost their gleam
The peach has snuggled

And for some unknown

And though I beg and
plead with you, you tell me its not time

Verse 3 [chords as per verse 2]:
The sun seeps
through the window to see if we're still dead
To try to throw some
light upon the gloom around our bed
At quarter past the
doorbell rings, the water faucet drips and sings
And still my reason
will not rhyme, and still you tell me its not time
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro; end cold on D]
