Tuna Fish Lyrics - Love In The Time Of Science - Emiliana Torrini

I am lying in my bed 

Watching the spider eat the fly 

I say "How is that its breakfast even for you" 

A little later I am sitting by the window looking out 

The red palm is really blowing up the street 

I am to stay up to eat breakfast 

So I smell my favorite tea 

A cup of coffee won't do for me 

How days creep by in the greying sky 

How days creep by and they never even try 

How days creep by in the greying sky 

How days creep by 

Guess it's time for a walk 

Just to read some license plates 

What is Autumn doing creeping up on me 

Going on the tube to scream when the train arrives 

Rubbing cress on my skin, God it smells so nice 

All the same I think I'll go on rolling up the hill 

If I'm lucky you won't see me 

How days creep by in the greying sky 

How days creep by come and ask me why 

How days creep by in the greying sky 

How days creep by 

Did you know that tuna fish float up to the surface 

Belly to the moonlight just to cool down their heart down 

'Cause it helps them just to think about the hurtful things 

I guess it's just one way to get them some sedation 

How days creep by in the greying sky 

How days creep by and they definitely die 

How days creep by in the greying sky 

How days creep by 

How days creep by and they definitely die 

How days creep by come and ask me why 

How days creep by 

How days creep by
