Obsession Lyrics - Toyah

(willcox) 

Baby, baby, baby, baby 

1, 2, 3 

Oh never mind 

Pr..pr..pr..pressing my heel of my shoes 

Into your paintwork 

Shattering determination 

Brick thoughts crumble 

We've stood under this sky 

Far too long baby 

Come on meet your soul 

Wife now, I don't believe you 

Don't want to see me, come on baby. 

Flash bulbs squeeze light 

>From metal veins 

Across the blistering night 

I arrest your image and 

Detain 

We're not waalking on safe land 

We're sinking in quick sand 

Obsession 

Good god, have you seen that weirdo in the car behind 

No, no don't look 

Don't make it obvious anyway, 

As I was saying 

Envy scratches all down the side of the car 

Flirt you're in the car in front 

I think with someone else 

Her cigarette glows in the dark 

I see my arm on the wheel 

In the oncoming lights 

Mascara black tears trickle down 

It's not me, it's just meat that drives 

Born by man captive and 

Damned to shed this skin and 

Enter you in the bliss of death 

A soul bathed in fur 

A heart robed in flesh 

Whichever way you wear yourself 

I'll get in 

Obsession 

Every time I venture out 

I leava a note in my pocket 

Or on the table, or posted to a friend 

To respect fate to let you know where I stand with you 

If not in life, perhaps another time 

Obsession 

England this burning land 

Sensuality of tone 

Twenty-two miles till the earth curves 

Then you're out of sight 

I'll be clothed in confusion, 

When I woke in this body 

By my mother's side 

Born from all 

Seeing to one sight 

I am all 

I am in a microcosm of time before 

I become one and all again 

I want to experience 

I want to walk all over you
