Lyrics of 'Hurt Me' by The Jezabels

Oh, love, is that a vulture? don't tell me its a vulture
Standing beside you
And do you see your own face in his eyes?
Do you see him like i do? oh

It used to be that when you said you believed it
I would believe it too
It used to be that when you said you were leaving
I'd want to follow you
But never where the dogs bark, never where the dogs bark

And i remember, praying at the dinner table
For you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able.

Now i've a dream of you with half a face
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me
Come on, abel, are you going to skin me?
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
When the shadow of the moon won't do

'cause on you, the moon is but a pearl
Stolen from your mother's bedside the day you came into the world
Still now, i can hear the dogs bark, i can hear the dogs bark

And i remember, praying at the dinner table
For you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able
Oh whole cities light up, but nothing can compare to you, baby
So i stay awake, laying on the dinner table

Waiting for you to hurt me, come on abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
Come down to the world
Hurt me, come on abel, cut me, cut me, serve me 'round the table.

And now it's laying on the table
Waiting for you, on the table
To carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed

And sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
And that's the body, i swear that's the body

I remember, it was laying on the dinner table
And when you came around, said you'll be doing fine when you're able
Oh whole cities light up but nothing can compare to you, baby
So i stay waiting, laying on the dinner table.

Oh hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
Oh cut me, cut me, serve me
