Lyrics

VERSE
  When you speak you speak to me
  When you sleep you sleep by me
  When you wake you wake with me
  When you walk you follow two steps behind

Realise terror stalking, ever grasping sinking for me
It wasn't love it was the fix of never wanting me
Now I'm gone, you're tossing and turning in your sleep
That's the name of the game, of the game, of the game 

Cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are

VERSE
  
Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone
I was the monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are

Some days are heaven, I will not deny
Probing the daylight cascading the skyline
Tripping and diving and losing it all
Back came the night time, I was waiting for more things

Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar
You'll cry all the more, now that I'm gone
I was the devil monkey on your back
Take a look at how lucky you are

VERSE
