The draughts blew cold

Under the door

When we threw our clothes

To the kitchen floor

The broccoli boils

In a pan on the gas stove

Where we stand

Won't you take this spatula

In your hand



Let the rice burn

It cannot deter my love for you

We have no concern

Under the hem of the night

Under the hem of the night



Out on the roof

Over havoc streets

With the sky a blanket

Each sweet kiss

So melodramatic embroidered by shadow

By the fridge I reminisce



Let the rice burn

It cannot deter my love for you

We have no concern

Under the hem of the night

Under the hem of the night



We stagged a doorway

And all of a sudden

The drum of the rain

On the heather hills

Now everything's changed

And our silence is bitter

And you are all unhinged



Let the rice burn

It cannot deter my love for you

We have no concern

Under the hem of the night

Under the hem of the night
