Swallow Tattoo Lyrics

Give me a good film noir and a bottle of gin
And i'd be happy just to stay inside
I didn't want to get too involved
But I like how hard you tried

To my horror, a former lover
Told me you've always had a swallow tattoo
And now you tell me it's a sign of devotion:
But devotion to whom?

Don't think i'm a martyr to the cause
She's got her reasons putting cats amongst the pigeons
But i'd rather just stay indoors

Antique emblem set in ink
It didn't mean a thing to you
And i've been wronged by proxy:
Goodbye happiness, I hardly knew you...

To my horror, a former lover
Told me you've always had a swallow tattoo
And now you tell me it's a sign of devotion:
But devotion to whom?

You fill me
You fill me
You fill me with inertia
You fill me with inertia
I still want
I still want to jump
I want to jump your bones

Don't tell her, don't tell her everything
Because i'm bound to see her later today
And if she can't keep a straight face then i'll know
To my horror, a former lover
Told me you've always had a swallow tattoo
And now you tell me it's a sign of devotion:
But devotion to whom?

I'd rather just stay indoors...
