Stone Cold Sober
Paloma Faith Lyrics

I'll be the late night lady you won't recognize,
I'm able to change my appearance, becoming someone who is completely unknown to you, especially late at night.

I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise
I can transform into a completely different persona at will, having the ability to stay hidden in plain sight.

I'd read your future but it's written in the past,
Although I could try to predict your future, I know that you are limited by what has already happened in your past.

Take a good look might be your last
Take a good look at me because this might be the last time you ever see me.

Don't try to show me, cause you don't know me,
Do not attempt to demonstrate your knowledge of me, as you are not familiar with who I truly am.

Stay away!
I do not wish to interact with you or have you come near me.

I can be wilder than the wind,
I have the potential to be more untameable than the most ferocious of winds.

119 miles an hour,
I can move faster than 119 miles per hour and be uncontrollable.

I'm in a whole other dimension,
I exist in a different space than most people, in a realm that is hard to imagine.

Dancing doubles on the floor,
I dance so energetically and freely that it appears as though there are two of me on the dance floor.

You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy,
You may believe that there is something wrong with my mental state - that I am either mentally ill or not fully aware of my surroundings.

But I'm stone cold sober
Despite what you may think about me, I am completely aware of what is happening around me and have not had any alcohol or other mind-altering substances.

You're telling me something
You are attempting to convey some sort of message to me.

But there's nothing cheap as words
However, words alone are not enough to convince me or sway my opinion.

I'm walking away before I do affect the birds
I am leaving this conversation before I destroy the peaceful environment around us.

Excuse me Mr I've got other things to do
Please pardon me, sir, as I have other important obligations to attend to.

Than to stand here listening to you
I do not wish to remain in this location any longer, nor do I want to continue listening to you.

Stop talking at my face
Please stop speaking directly to me or approaching me with your words.

Take a rocket out to space and ..
Find another place to go and do not come back or bother me.

Stay away!!
Leave me alone and do not return.

In the madness of the storm,
During the chaos and confusion of a violent storm,

I'm the one to carry on,
I am the one who will continue moving forward and not give up despite adversity.

I don't need no medicine,
I do not require any outside help or medication to cope with hardship.

If you're looking for a cure,
If you are searching for a way to fix your problems,

Don't be knocking at my door,
Do not come to me for help or guidance.

I'll never let you in
I refuse to let you enter my life or be a part of it in any way.

Take a rocket out to space
Leave and never come back, even if it means traveling far away.

And stay out of my place
Do not return to my home or my life.
