When Tomas came

from Nubes by Gabriela Zapata

lyrics

When Thomas came he made the promise to behave
The promise to behave, the promise to behave, the promise to behave
The time is near, he said, but he promised to behave
He promised to behave, he promised to behave

My daddy said never trust the darkness in those eyes
All logic said he’s a vampire in a neat disguise
But baby baby I didn’t care if those sweet lips just told me lies
Those hands they traced much too good across my back
I walked the walkaway walk right back into his arms

When Thomas came he made the promise to behave
The promise to behave, the promise to behave, the promise to behave
The time is near, he said, but he promised to behave
He promised to behave, he promised to behave

I had an honest man that Tommy blew out of my head
Then did my own blowing in a library somewhere
I bit his Adam’s apple and that’s a double entendre
Against a cold mirror wall he taught me how to beg
I walked the walkaway walk right back into his bed

Enticing and arousing despair, he lured me into his net
Nasty, brutal, cruel man broke every rule I made
Mean cold-blooded thing got naked in a dangerous way
And talked of love and fate

I can’t see the sun now my baby’s gone
I can’t take the time to make it on my own
I can’t I can’t shake the need to hear
his knock knocking on my door
´Cause when Thomas left
the world it just went absolutely cold
So cold

When Tomas came he made the promise to behave (break, break, break, break)
The promise to behave (break, break, break, break)
The promise to behave
