Chance dreams that cut across the bed, 
Leaving colours there instead
See lines that draw it to an end, ignore them
And if I say how I feel again, 
Is it wise to do it?
Or like hearing for the umpteenth time, 
Some despise
Don't you fall asleep there's lots of things 
I need to say that just won't keep
Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)

And with my fears in the back of my mind, 
Will they gang up on me?
And when I least expect them 
To they'll devour me
Don't you turn aside, 
Your tired ears must hear me out
There's nowhere to hide

Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)
Don't you turn aside, 
Your tired ears must hear me out 
There's nowhere to hide

Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)

(And with my fears in the back of my mind, 
Will they gang up on me?)
Sweet sweet sweet sweet Catatonia, 
I should have told you (ah ah)
(And when I least expect them to 
They'll devour me)
