As I turn my attention from the spreading stain   On the ceiling near the corner by the door   The ambulant shadow of an aeroplane   Passes over the object on the floor   A lavender afternoon is gone... again   Or my hands have blocked my vision   Please turn the thoughts down in my head... against   This swirling mass of indecision   And I will make my bed hard as I can take it   And I think that I know myself a bit too well   Now... I will never say what brought me to break it   The damage has been done, and I will never tell   I wish you could be here on this afternoon   Under sulphurous suffocating sky   Till the lightning and thunder brighten up this room   And the storm finally breaks behind my eyes   You can see things that I can only feel... to be   Locked away, their true nature can't be guessed   And weren't you just about to reveal to me   The nature that lives within this chest?   And I will make my bed...   [Background chorus: la la la la]   I will never tell   I will never say   What brought me to break the seal of hell   I will never tell
