Limp

I dreamt that I took a rope from the shed
Waited till the morning light
You drove away
And in shame I hung my head

And as you sang along to the FM air
My legs began to kick away the chair
And as you parked the car
I'd gone too far

And instantly all the pain was gone
I forgot to feel
And instantly I woke up alone
Ooh, it felt so real

Hours later you came home to find me
Hanging like a puppet and we waltzed
You should have known
Even though it wasn't your fault
And as you grabbed the legs of a fluid corpse
And cut the rope to bring it to the floor
You sobbed on a cold face
"Oh, what a waste"

And instantly all the pain was gone
I forgot to feel
And instantly I woke up alone
Ooh, it felt so real

And as I woke you'd already gone out
The weight re-landed on me like a house
I wish that you were here
To stop me, dear
