Great Bloomers - Admit Defeat lyrics

Every drop of rain on my tongue Slips and drips a different tune Pots and pans that clamor Through the doorway to your patient room Elephants in every corner Smitten by the way you move Writhe from any pang of disenchantment that I stir in you Push away the beams of morning Paralyzed by pleasures unknown Secret lovers in their fashions Waste their time all alone Oh, the march we made along the streets Set ablaze our orphan eyes with little pine leaves We all bear a similar stature Feeling lighter laying on the concrete Oh, my heedless voice Be softer still If there's anything you haven't destroyed There'll be time to rejoice Every day that stumbles by I throw away like a paper plane Into a dark black cloud where Hope is sparse and lightning reigns If we ever make it through I swear to you, I'll guide us home To a nest of sheets and springs Where lovers never sleep alone Oh, my heavy heart Find another reason to beat If I can't find comfort here I'll leave you and admit defeat
