you pitched and I was thrown
second face was never shown
though you hit so hard you know which way to look
oh darlin' oh darlin' didn't you read the book?

and all your nightmares were on fire
and all your lovers they were liars
though you tried my eyes you know which way to look
could you tell me, please tell me, didn't you read the book?

take me now
take me now
take me now

you were starry eyed and pale[?]
you had no reason to unveil
though you tried my eyes, you know which way to look
oh darlin' oh darlin' didn't you read the book?

take me now
take me now
take me now
take me now
take me now
take me now
