Ounce Of Your Cruelty Lyrics - Bluebottle Kiss

You're a waitress who hung out 

With the customers too long now 

It seems the curtain's closed 

And the lights are on 

I guess there's going to be no encore for us 

You're a mystery in the street 

and the men would pay good currency 

And you let them down so softly 

For an ounce of your cruelty, you would 

Leave your house keys in my door 

And they'd fit because you want them to 

Such coincidence, it always befalls you 

It gets so far beyond comedy that 

How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane 

now ? 

Could you just have a heart ? 

Give me an ounce of your cruelty, could you 

There's a whistle in the street 

There's a night so cloaked with secrecy 

But I'm keeping my nose clean 

I've drawn the curtains closed 

Until it's summer and these crickets wake me 

And your breath will light the dawn 

But you'll wake up with a thorn in your side 

Hey it's only me, you should turn it around 

And wake me up with your cruelty 

How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane 

now ? 

Could you just have a heart ? 

Give me an ounce of your cruelty 

How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane 

now 

Could you just have a heart ? 

Give me an ounce of your cruelty 

And you'll leave it alone and let it rot 

An ounce of your cruelty means 

You'll stay at home 

And deprive me of your pleasure 

Hey could you do that ? 

No way around it
