Claim Lyrics - Singles - Bluebottle Kiss

Pelicans are rising in the dusk dawn pukey sea 

And I'm having apparitions performed by my memory 

Well the sand feels like gehenna as it swallows up my feet 

I am underneath the blackness I am underneath this weight 

I don't want any forgiveness I won't savour your regret 

I don't need any old dosage to try and help me to forget 

Some may call this my obsession but let's just say I'm strong willed 

Let me be in your possession and it's victory I'll swill 

I'm sorry but I'm only here to claim you 

please don't ask me any questions, I'll try hard not to detain you 

And forgive me take my hand swear I won't maim you 

just a dose of your attention and I'll make myself scarce 

Far beneath the cliff tops I'm throwing ashes on my head 

And I'm digging my own coffin with the seaweed and the dregs 

I may be looking at a blue sky when there's vultures overhead 

I am scribbling In the sandstone I am washing out my head 

And I'd blame you but I'm only here to claim you 

It's this pacifistic war I wage I know I can't restrain you 

And I'd love you but I'd sooner rise above you 

And I'd wave my flag of insolence and swear that I'd be true 

And then I'm gone
