Worms Tab

by Beth Orton


Of her new album - comfort of strangers

                            
Worms don't dance they haven't got the balls
          
No matter how do you do
         
Its just you do thats all
                       
You got what it takes to knock at my door
          
You wanna get all excited
      
Never been here before

                 
And now I'm your apple eating heathen
    
The original sin
              
Well you aint got my faith
        
So best keep your belief
                       
I had waited for ever to love someone
          
I swear I heard you thank your god the time
    
For having me come along

                              
Chickens dont fly but they have got the wings
          
No matter how hard they try
     
They bump into things
            
They're all running around
          
But their heads on the ground
                               
They got a wish bone where their back bone should've grown

                 
And now I'm your apple eating heathen
        
Any old rib stealing eve
              
Well you aint got my faith
        
So best keep your belief
                       
I had waited for ever to love someone
                              
I swear I heard you thank your god that time
           
For having me come along

                         
And an intimacy reduced to cruelty
                                  
And I had you believe like this was meant to be

And I look for the magic

But you got away with it
       
That's all
