    Lyrics
    Motes of dust in a room
    Perched above the River Seine
    Spiderweb of frost
    On the window pane again
    A vague rumple suggestive of
    A human underneath
    Evokes the familiar response
    Of the clenching of the teeth

    Tie a knot in a stomach
    Or a piece of string
    Living through winter
    Just kind of anticipating spring
    The smells of danger and fear
    Were always close to you
    Were raised with these things from birth
    And then we put them neatly out of view

    I know the secrets of your yesterdays
    Dinners and bedsheets and the
    source of telltale means and ways
    You call it freedom and
    Thats okay by me
    Well if thats your definition
    Then I guess by definition youre free

    But does it bother you?
    Does it seep through?
    Well I think that I would have noticed
    If the sky were not at least some kind of shade of blue
    A pair of pale eyes against me
    Was more than I could stand
    Each look went in between you & me
    And removed the ampersand

    Make a point with a needle
    And thread it through
    As long as youre consistent
    The world will consistently forgive you
    I find I have some trouble
    Trying to fall asleep
    But if you can close your eyes at night
    Then I guess that I can keep

    A secret love is filling in the cracks of yesterday
    Giving you the strength to make the choice
    between inveigle and inveigh
    You say, "I am about darkness,"
    and thats okay by me
    But if everyone were as dark as you
    Pretty soon it would be too dark to see

    Well I thought that you thought that I thought
    That you thought that I think too much But I think that you thought that I thought That you thought that I thought that you were out of touch If youre still thinking what I think youre thinking Then I think that you dont quite see You see I thought that you knew what you were doing And thats one too many thoughts for me

    You know the secrets of my present days
    Dinners and bedsheets and the source of telltale means and ways
    You call it freedom and thats okay by me
    Cause I am about darkness and I wont miss the cracks that I cant see

    Now I sit perched in this room perched above the River Seine
    Watching the motes of dust fall down and down and up and up again
    In the breeze made by the shutting door and another day
    After a rousing round of dinners and bedsheets
    and telltale means and ways
