Nemesis - David Gray

'Neath an avalanche — soft as moss

I’m a creeping and intangible sense of loss

I’m the memory you can’t get out your head

If I leave you now

You’ll wish you were somewhere else instead

I’m the manta ray — I’m the louse

I am a photograph they found in your burned out house

I’m the sound of money washing down the drain

I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane

Gates of Heaven are open wide

God help me, baby I’m trapped inside

Feel like I’m buried alive

I’m, I’m the bottom line — of the joke

I am an ecstasy — spilling like bright egg yolk

I’m the thoughts you’re too ashamed to ever share

And I am the smell of it — you’re trying to wash out of you hair

Gates of Heaven are open wide

God help me, baby I’m lost inside

Feel like I’m buried alive

Possibilities limitless

Just give me something that’s more than this

One shot and I’ll never miss

Yes

I’m the babe that sleeps through the blitz

I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist

I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else

I am your nemesis

Baby, I’m life sweet life itself

Yeah yeah yeah
