The Eternal Playlist

Okay - I admit I don't really listen to this all that often (definitely calls for a certain type of headspace), but it has been stuck in my brain ever since I came across it many years ago because I've yet to find a song with a longer title (and c'mon - it's Pink Floyd!).

I'm a sucker for good extended versions and remixes, too. If I had the time to mod, I'd make a community for them.

Looking back, I'd rather be lonely
If love means you own me
I would choose freedom

Here I am, still fighting the symptoms
Still mourning the innocence you were stealing from me
I gave unknowingly

So many times I dreamt about leaving,
But you were the high I thought that I needed
Now I know you made me sick
Cluelessly sipping that tonic
Believing you could give me everything I wanted
Turn a blind eye to your dark side
Stockholm syndrome kinda shit
Hate that you still leave me haunted
Nobody has ever made me feel so wanted
From heaven to hell in your spotlight
Damn it, you make me sick

An iron cage that you painted golden
The same one still locking me up
in the years I gave up for you

So many times I dreamt about leaving,
But you were the high I thought that I needed
Now I know you made me sick
Cluelessly sipping that tonic
Believing you could give me everything I wanted
Turn a blind eye to your dark side
Stockholm syndrome kinda shit
Hate that you still leave me haunted
Nobody has ever made me feel so wanted
From heaven to hell in your spotlight
Damn it, you make me sick

Sick (Sick, Sick)
Don't you know, you make me, you make me sick
Sick (Sick, Sick)
Used to blame myself but I know better now

Now I know you make me sick
Cluelessly sipping that tonic
Believing you could give me everything I wanted
Turn a blind eye to your dark side
Stockholm syndrome kinda shit
Hate that you still leave me haunted
Nobody has ever made me feel so wanted
From heaven to hell in your spotlight
Damn it, you make me sick

You're everybody's second home
Always tryna get me alone
An easy way to lose it all
Always there when all else fails
Over by the west side rails

But I don't really need that now
I never really did anyhow
I only really needed alcohol
Something that'll treat me okay
And wouldn't say the things you say

Please, turn out the light
I get a sick confusion headache
Tryin' to figure out who's right

Dreamin' on the silver strand
Wakin' up to plainclothes man
You little bastard, little boy in blue
Someone's gonna get to you
And fuck up everything you do

Some European son
Who's furious with everyone
And thinks he'll win you with his angry kiss
Actin' like he has no needs
Wanting you to watch him bleed

We're made for each other, that you pay me any mind
Just goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while
But I don't know, I don't think so

There's somethin' that I'll tell you now
Now that no one else is around
The sort of lesson that I learned from you
Not quite the way you planned
But I know you'll understand

Someone takes a photograph
A picture while their sweetheart laughs
A perfect moment in a flash of light
Countin' back from three to one
That's exactly what you've done

And I'm so unsurprised
I remember, I remember
Why I dream in black and white
Goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while
But I don't know, I don't think so

I don't think so
