In The Cold Light Of Morning
Placebo · Box Set [2009]
In the cold light of morning while everyone is yawning,
you're high
In the cold light of morning the party gets boring,
you're high
As your skin starts a scratchin', wave yesterdays actions goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light
In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning
You're drunk sick from whoring and high
Staring back from the mirrors
A face that you don't recognise
It's a loser, a sinner, a cock and a dildo's disguise
In the cold light
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
As your skin starts to scratch
And wave yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions.
You're high
In the cold light of day
Tomorrow's only a kettle
Whistle
Whistle
Whistle

Whistle

Whistle
Whistle
Away
In the cold light of day
you're high
In the cold light of morning the party gets boring,
you're high
As your skin starts a scratchin', wave yesterdays actions goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions
You're high
In the cold light
In the cold light of morning while everyone's yawning
You're high
In the cold light of morning
You're drunk sick from whoring and high
Staring back from the mirrors
A face that you don't recognise
It's a loser, a sinner, a cock and a dildo's disguise
In the cold light
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
As your skin starts to scratch
And wave yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions
And stolen possessions.
You're high
In the cold light of day
Tomorrow's only a kettle
Whistle

In the cold light of day
