The Go-Betweens
Obsession With You
It's never open, it's always dark
Can't be spoken, it's just a spark
Barely a thread, hardly a line
Has been passed
From your hand to mine
I'm gonna scream for you
Until my voice turns blue
With all these words
That are all brand new
It's just an obsession with you, an obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
An obsession with you, ?
And I just can't fake it
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
I want your smile on my lips
At your request, an eclipse
I never knew that our maker
Had such good taste
It's just an obsession with you, an obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
It's just an obsession with you, ?
And I just can't take it
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
Tell you my jokes, you'd only laugh
Time can't be stretched, it's not a giraffe
I'll keep silent
I shall not interrupt
Oh I will declare it and be dammned
If shot down, then I'l land
In your desert
In your hand
Where I shall speak
It's just an obsession with you, an obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
It's just an obsession with you, ?
And I just can't fake it
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
It's just an obsession with you, obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
An obsession with you, ?
And I just can't fake it
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
Just an obsession
