about

interesting melodies, driving rhythms, poetic lyrics, catchy chorus, with a little bit of fun sprinkled throughout. If there was one song that would be the quintessential T-Rex Marathon piece, here it is. Musically, the song is not complex, and yet it does exactly what it needs to do at any given point. It’s a perfect example of restraint and tastefulness and the whole band working in service of a larger musical idea. It’s beautiful, it’s charming, and it’s heavy when it needs to be.

lyrics

I was the rain in your lungs
And it's mind over matter
You're drowning alone

Run running out of breath
For the last words you said
In the last song you sung

I was the rain in your veins
Rushing in like a river
Breaking your skin

(Empty of oxygen)

And now you're breathless, alone in your bed.
As images flash through your head.

I said I'm giving it up
I'm giving it in
If I'm holding you up
Then say something about it to me

You were once a child
Born of blue
Dressed in roses

A fantastic display
My princess of grey
An illusion of substance

You've got your blankets wrapped tight
Sheltered all through the night
From the fiends in the mirror

(Hide away from fear)

I'll be here waiting (Dressed for you)
Shamelessly sedated (All for use)
You're your own damn monster (No excuse)
Night Terror (I'd rather feel a burning on my skin And an aching in my bones Than feel hollow and feel sheltered Then feel nothing here at all.)
