Pull Away, Then Pull Back
pull away, then pull back
the pressure –
it is a heart attack
there are lost loves –
and treasures of a princess
pull away, then pull back
you cannot get what you need
so you lie on the floor
and pretend to bleed
closing the curtains on my windows
who needs a soul?
pull away, then pull back
because it is the only way you know
it appears to the only way
you can get what you want
James Garratt – January 1996
