Genius

Ever Since

You're gonna die in this room

In your twin size coffin tomb

When all your friends have bailed out

Who will rescue you now?

The sheets, they make you itch

And bedsores make you twitch

And you just can't figure out

How you've gotten here somehow

I wanna be the one who rolls you over

I wanna be the one who rolls you over

We never should've kissed

At least not on the lips

Been stuck in bed for days

Ever since we parted ways

And the sheets, they make you itch

Bedsores make you ache

I wanna be the one who rolls you over

I wanna be the one who rolls you over

Out Of My Control

The walls of this hotel are paper-thin 
Last night I heard you making love to him 
The struggle mouth-to-mouth, and limb-to-limb 
The grunt of unity when he came in 
I stood there with my ear against the wall 
I was not seized by jealousy at all 
In fact a burden lifted from my soul 
I heard that love was out of my control 
A heavy burden lifted from my soul 
I heard that love was out of my control 

I listened to your kisses at the door 
I never heard the world so clear before 
You ran your bath and you began to sing 
I felt so good I could not feel a thing 
I stood there with my ear against the wall
I was not seized by jealousy at all
In fact a burden lifted from my soul 
I learned that love was out of my control

And I can't wait to tell you to your face 
And I can't wait for you to take my place 
You are the naked Angel in my heart 
You are The Woman with her legs apart 
It's written on the walls of this hotel 
You go to heaven...
Once you've been to hell..

A heavy burden lifted from my soul 
I learned that love was out of my control
I learned that love was out of my control
I learned that love was out of my control...

~Leonard Cohen, 1977
