lyrics
Once, when I was alone, I called you, and you weren't home
My heart fell, like a stone to the ground, to the ground, to the ground
To the ground, to the ground, to the ground
Why, when morn had dawned on me, and anger grew, like ecstasy
And Leda threw the swan on me, and I fell, to the ground, to the ground
To the ground, to the ground, to the ground
Don't say “I want you”, don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying to
Play the game, where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same 'til you change your mind
And you'll change your mind
I could have broken you, I should have spoken for
you should have seen it was turning me on
Don't you know it's true?
There are worse things, perverse things
You should answer when the phone rings!
There are worse things I could do
Once, when I was all alone, I could not find the telephone
So, instead, I burned your pretty home
To the ground, to the ground to the ground
Oh, don't say “I want you”, don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying to
Play the game, where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same 'til you change your mind
And you'll change your mind
My heart fell, like a stone to the ground, to the ground, to the ground
To the ground, to the ground, to the ground
Why, when morn had dawned on me, and anger grew, like ecstasy
And Leda threw the swan on me, and I fell, to the ground, to the ground
To the ground, to the ground, to the ground
Don't say “I want you”, don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying to
Play the game, where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same 'til you change your mind
And you'll change your mind
I could have broken you, I should have spoken for
you should have seen it was turning me on
Don't you know it's true?
There are worse things, perverse things
You should answer when the phone rings!
There are worse things I could do
Once, when I was all alone, I could not find the telephone
So, instead, I burned your pretty home
To the ground, to the ground to the ground
Oh, don't say “I want you”, don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying to
Play the game, where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same 'til you change your mind
And you'll change your mind

INTO THE ABYSS
by DANCE WITH THE DEADsupported by 14 fans who also own “Worse Things”
This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven.
