damaged goods Songtext
von The Narcissist Cookbook

Can I tell you a secret?
I clocked you first
I just didn′t want to say anything

Sometimes you can just tell
By the way we look
I don't know what it is
But something calls out my name

It says
Come touch the hole in my chest
I keep closed up with duct tape
And superglue

I′ve been scratching this itch for so long
Now the bone's started showing through

Oh, oh


Check me out, I'm damaged goods
Still fucked from all the drugs I took
And boy, you′d best believe me
Don′t you dare come near me
I'm a wreck, I′m a mess
I'm an injoke to my friends
And they don′t think I hear the awful
Things they say about me

So go ahead
It's alright
You can kiss me if you like

Can I tell you a secret you already know?
I just want to hear the words come out
Sometimes it′s a little like
We speak a different kind of language
To everyone else in the world

You say something to quiet
To hear in a crowd
But I read the bite wounds on your lips

I have spent thousands on therapy
Trying to learn to not do things like this

And oh, oh


Check me out I'm damaged goods
Still fucked from all the drugs I took
And boy, you'd best believe me
We could cure our crazy for a night
Maybe two
If that′s the best thing we can do
Then let′s top up each other's glasses
With each other′s whisky

Wait, I know your face from somewhere
I think I saw you in a nightmare
We were dancing on the blackened banks
Of a river made of fire

One missed step and I could lose you
We could leave here if we choose
But we are both cold-blooded creatures
And we'd freeze out there

So let our knees touch
Underneath the table

Wrap yourself around me baby
Like a tag around my ankle

And go ahread
It′s alright
You can kiss me if you like

Back then, there was no 'Other Side′ to the forest
It went on forever and ever
Until you turned your back or died in there
The perfect place to hide
