Kitty Litter
Placebo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way you're dancing
Makes me come alive
Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancin'
The way you crack a smile
Nearly start a fire

So move closer
Want to feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

The way you're moving
Hips from side to side
Makes you all that I desire
Bout cheaper than my choosing I'm so unsatisfied
You've got what I require

So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
So come on

So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin

Love of mine
This fortress in our hearts
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine




This fortress in our hearts
Comes crashing down

Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancing
The way you crack a smile
Nearly start a fire

So move closer
