Petal Tommy lyrics

The way your smell lingers on my clothes
Creeps up, eats me inside out
I couldn't make you stay
Shoot up in the trailer
I couldn't make you stay here
Pebbles fall from under your toes
Jumped up, fucked up always
Like you were seeing something
Like you saw something beautiful
I couldn't make you stay here

Dead skin piercing light
Through my eyes, through my spine
Catch a glimpse of a flicker and I try
And you are not here in my bed tonight
You never will be, tommy


And I forgot your eyes
And I forgot your hair
And I forgot you entirely
The fall from diamond gap
The ravages of time
If you don't jump then I'll be fine

And you won't work in the factory
I'll stop stripping
And I won't leave if you won't leave
If you don't leave, Tommy
