Hearing her voice was like hearing the future So I covered my ears 'cause I didn't want to hear her And just the same her words come spilling out of
It's far too perfect an end Aren't I supposed to learn to bend in all kinds of unnatural ways? You've already seen me at my best Oh my god you've seen
(Instrumental)
In your sliver of sky you pull the strings You twist your fingers in everything You meet a woman you look in her eyes You smell like a friend but you
Here's what you have to do You gotta coat yourself in steel Whatever you do don't be fooled The danger is real Now wrap your hands Around the wire
After 20 years and 3,000 miles I've finally found my home And now I live in legends of days gone by Amongst the crumbling glories of Rome And now
As usual the door is secured with a muted click and a closing of the eyes Finally we face each other bodies sterile for the rite Soon she folds me
We've fallen in love with distant lands We've offered it up with both hands Though we've left no frogs unkissed I think there's something that
You can't complain I warned you about this That you'd star in a song or two And you'd get a serenade in exchange for a kiss And a handful of those bedroom
I'm not so good at this kind of thing Too bad this has to be perfect I'm a decent player I know how to sing But damn, damn this is tough And hollow
Miles from ecstatic Years from depressed Across the board content A step below dramatic Nowhere near repressed Sometimes I just need to vent I've
I can't drive after I see you You make me drunk and distracted Got me coasting through every stoplight in town I keep checking my reflection Thinking
You were my first love Not the kissing kind You did not laugh You did not lie We were a bonfire Burning with stories We pooled our glories Yeah we piled
Spin me a song now as we travel The worm trails of this town As suddenly my sanity unravels And the clock is counting down While my hands Your tarantula
I'm not gonna lie to you I don't know what I'm doing Even after all these years I'm lost I'm not gonna lie to you I'm a little bit crazy I try to keep
Your eyes speak in volumes, child The longings that you keep I know you're suffering You needn't say a thing I need no warning here I need no sign That
How dare you sleep so soundly while all I do is turn' Though I feel your safety surround me I take so damn long to learn How is it that you feel so
She's in the rowboat Tears of laughter flooding her face She's bailing out her sinking ship He's on the shore He's knee deep in the water Clutching
