The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove

I thought that you knew it all
Well, you've seen it ten times before
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground

I love slow
Slow but deep
Feigned affections
Wash over me

Dream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations
Dream on my dear
It's a sleep from which you may not awaken

You build me up, then you knock me down
You play the fool while I play the clown
We keep time to the beat
Of an old slave drum

You raise my hopes, then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time
In disillusionment

I don't believe you anymore
I don't believe you
I don't believe you anymore
I don't believe you

I thought that I knew it all
I'd seen all the signs before
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was won

You build me up, then you knock me down
You play the fool while I play the clown
We keep time to the beat
Of an old slave drum

You raise my hopes, then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time
In a domestic graveyard

I don't believe you anymore
I don't believe you

Never let it be said, I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you
Never let it be said, I was untrue
I gave you all my time
I gave you all my time
