Astronautalis - The Unfortunate Affairs of Mary and Earl lyrics

The wind blows and binds our bones together All dressed up in piano wire, love notes, and feathers A slow drift, drag up, lift, we float to heaven Far below our homes glow just like dozing embers I don't care what you thought he would say There's no surprises left except d**h livin' in this modern age And planes still fly, tug boats float despite their weight Seems like luck would've cashed his chips and walked away You say everything you've been, you taught us to live And if you tell them all the gravity's with protestant kids I could believe it wasn't me, I couldn't murder my friends I So scrape all the change you've collected from dressers and desks And pack your pockets full of food until you stretch seams to split Tie your silken sheets together, hang them fast from the bed, And meet me in the car parked outside of the fence [Chorus] I've got an autoreverse tape deck A bagfull of casettes A pack of cigarettes Let's leave tonight. (Seems like we will never win.) [Unintelligible] to take your rod Brain is just your heart on fire [whaaaaaaaaat I can't hear this sorry guys someone fix this] Won't you fall asleep with me? Untie your hair then I'll just be The whisper in your ear to shape your dreams To shape your dreams Seems like we will never win. Every second that we second-guess Is like we're taking backwards steps The rain is falling in reverse Your skin is sliding back to bed The sun is rising to the west And the flourishes on your family crest Are sneaking in to rape again and strangle life right out your chest And I'll never know what's best Like the rest is made of lies Perfectly dressed up in disguises, wisdom and sage advice And I can't tell you how to live your life, Hold your hand from here But I can hear them drawing near and I am tired, I am scared. [Chorus]
