Triptych Lyrics

[00:09.00] Keeping you awake, keeping you awake on purpose
[00:16.55] Hey, did I make a mistake and do my mistakes worsen?
[00:25.35] I would give it up to every man I love
[00:28.92] I take what I can get
[00:34.39] And every woman too, I would too
[00:37.26] That's my only secret left
[00:41.87] I will entertain your feet or your hands for a triptych
[00:47.49] Sell me at the strand on the stands for a fat brick
[00:51.84] I get what I want and your girlfriend too
[00:55.74] Make a predator of me, I'll be good to you
[01:04.42] I'm worth it
[01:10.05] You
[01:12.44] I'm worth it
[01:16.84] So before I turn it off
[01:19.42] Little light at my bedstand
[01:22.03] Ask me what I thought of the life that I lead
[01:26.18] And I'll take off your pants
[01:28.01] Say goodnight to the ears there
[01:30.68] Put you where I sing
[01:32.38] In the light in the damp air
[01:38.40] I'll be good to you
[01:46.43] I'll be good to you
[02:27.20] I'm the moving mouth
[02:28.63] Moving mouth with my eyes closed
[02:31.43] Breathing an excuse
[02:32.98] Breathing loose through my new nose
[02:35.67] I will buy a round on your dime like I used to
[02:39.93] Feeding you my cake
[02:41.55] You my cake
[02:42.73] Eating it too
[02:47.04] I'll be good to you
[02:55.68] I'll be good to you
