[Verse 1: Kele Okereke]
And you're tired of your mum and you're tired of your dad
Got you jumping through hoops, got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you
And you're tired of your face and you're tired of your nose
Got you jumping through hoops, got you shaving your legs
Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass through you

[Chorus: Kele Okereke]
And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me
And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me

[Verse 2: Kele Okereke]
There will be no hesitation, there will be no confrontation
There will be no indication, there will be no cause
There will be no exultation, there will be no justification
There will be no way at all

[Chorus: Kele Okereke]
And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me
And your nose is bleeding
And your nose is bleeding
You've been lying to me
[Bridge: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]

(Luno)
(Luno)
(Luno) Come back to me the way you were
(Luno) The way you were when we were young
(Luno) I'm trying to tell you everything
(Luno) I'm trying to tell you everything

[Verse 3: Kele Okereke]
I can heal the blind, I can cure the sick
I can heal the blind, I can cure the sick
I can say the right things, I can say the right things
Where'd you get so cruel? Where'd you get so cruel?
Where'd you get so cruel? Where'd you get so cruel?
Where do you go? 'Cause you're never here

[Chorus: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]
And your nose is bleeding (You deserve it)
And your nose is bleeding (You deserve it)
You've been lying to me
And your nose is bleeding (You deserve it)
And your nose is bleeding (You deserve it)
You've been lying to me

[Outro: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]

(Luno) Come back to me the way you were
(Luno) The way you were when we were young
(Luno) I'm trying to tell you everything
(Luno) I'm trying to tell you everything
