Well there were seven years between us
Seems that all my friends were right
That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes
And a Spanish guitar

When we started this it was paradise
Not just Bethnal Green
And it's just not right, this waiting game
Making a cuckold of me

I can be as cruel as you, fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you, fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bloc+party/one+month+off_20764014.html ]
And it's just not like me to lash out
But enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do
That I can't?

Translucent and sun-bleached skin
Yeah, when did you get so L.A.?
How can you desert me after
All we've been through?

Stuck on a dream that somewhere is better
You'll be the one missing out

I can be as cruel as you, fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you, fighting lies with lies

If you need time (time)

I can be as cruel as you, fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you, fighting lies with lies
