Psychic Benefits

He said he kept two sets of books
One for my brains, one for my looks
I don't suppose either one is fully true

It was a habit unlearned
And I have a mission
I prefer the shop
But I'll take the demolition

'Cause that's what it takes
To be with you
Sewing circles, midnight rambles
Everything is such a shambles

You saw the world in spasms and in fits
I've been through the trench
I know you can't refuse
There is love and there's abuse
And they all have their psychic benefits

So how was I to remedy
The feelings that came over me?
How was I to know what was to come?
Incoherent honestly
It starts in your extremities
And then you're begging for the infirmary

Then everything inside and out is numb
Tonight too still and too weak for commands
It tastes like fresh meat to a star [?]
I never dreamed how I could lose my wits
I love you with such urgency
Revoke all my degrees
'Cause I failed to learn the psychic benefits

'Cause that's what it takes
To be with you
Sewing circles, midnight rambles
Everything is such a shambles

You saw the world in spasms and in fits
I've been through the trench
I know you can't refuse
There is love and there's abuse
And they all have their psychic benefits
