Текст песни The Benefit Of The Doubt

She's not me and I'm not she
We'll never be one we just keep the same company
The talkers will prattle about us in knowing tones
Hence my love-hate relationship with my phone

We're all alone
High on the bench
All alone
Sitting in judgment
All alone
Handing sentences down
without the benefit of the doubt

We shed lovers like dead skin
I slither to walk and wax reptilian
Huh! I'm out on a limb above you
Look up! I'll drop down as I hiss that I love you

All along
Smiling to myself
All along
As Titanic sinks itself
All along
Dancing on the docks
we shout the benefit of the doubt

Thomas, Thomas
I swear I promise
I've got your doctrine down
don't frown

Thomas, Thomas
I swear I promise
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down

I wink at you through prayers that recite themselves
twice a night before the cock crows

Let me slip my hand into your side
And push my finger in to a hole in your hide
Because it's gonna be quite a long ride
without the benefit of the doubt

the benefit of the doubt
the benefit of the doubt
the benefit of the doubt
the benefit of the doubt
