A pale voice and a paper tear
The bullets scud, hunting blood
But it’s friendly fire my love
We changed tyres but we’re losing air
So hold me close as we drive
We’re in for a bumpy ride

It’s just a slow puncture
Bringing us down
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down

The thread broke so we’re ripping seams
I'm daring you to deny this gemini butterfly
The snow’s deep but we’re dressed in dreams
Oh honey hang on 'cause we’re all just surviving here

It’s just a slow puncture
Bringing us down
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down

I see light on dark days

It’s just a slow puncture
Twisting me round
Just a slow puncture
Stealing our sound
Taking us down
