Obsessions

NGR Diamond

For beautiful things and people.

Sunday, wake up, give me a light Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable in my bed Silk sheet, blue dawn Colgate, tongue warm Won't you quit your crying? I can't sleep One minute, I'm a little sweetheart And next minute, you are an absolute creep We've got obsessions I want to wipe out all the sad ideas that come to me, when I am holding you We've got obsessions All you ever think about are sick ideas involving me, involving you Supermarket, oh, what packet of crackers to pick? They're all the same, one brand, one name But really they're not Look, look, just choose something quick People are staring, time to go quick and Skin is on fire, just choose something, something, something Pressure overwhelming Next minute, I am turnin' out of the door Facing one week without food A day, a day, when things, things are pretty bad But don't let it make you feel sad The crackers were probably bad luck anyway Can't let your cold heart be free When you act like you've got an OCD We've got obsessions I want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day, of every week We've got obsessions You never told me what it was that made you strong, and what it was that made you weak We've got obsessions I want to erase every nasty thought that bugs me every day of every week We've got obsessions You never told me what it was that made you strong, and what it was that made you weak (We've got obsessions) That made you weak, made you weak Made you weak (we've got obsessions) Made you weak, made you weak, made you Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable again

I'm not a robot, a robot.

You've been acting awful tough lately. Smoking a lot of  chamon lately. But inside, you're just a little baby. Oh. It's okay to say you've got a weak spot. You don't always have to be on top. Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not. You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable, You are not a robot. You're lovable, so lovable, But you're just troubled. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. You've been hanging with the unloved kids, Who you never really liked and you never trusted. But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins. Never committing to anything, You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings. Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing. I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable, I am not a robot. You're lovable, so lovable, But you're just troubled. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. Can you teach me how to feel, real? Can you turn my power on? Well, let the drum beat drop. Guess what? I'm not a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot. Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot.
