[Verse 1]
Our voices joined in a high note now over
Breathless we fall
Caught in the hanging cords now silent
Grabbed my hand in the nausea
[Chorus]
I made a bed out of irony lie with me
In my broken bones
Deliberated cheek to cheek
In the final blow
[Verse 2]
I laid down in the quivering gra**
Your legs so frail that you crawl after your convictions
My skin begins to pale in the dark
I grab your hand in the nausea
[Chorus]
I made a bed out of irony lie with me
In my broken bones
Deliberated cheek to cheek
In the final blow
—— (2:54) ——
[Verse 1]
You grow younger
Pulling my future like a toy train
Afraid of the dark
In a hotel room you sleep and lay
[Hook]
You leave your dedication
On the table and
Along with her tip
Here I am back peddling
[Verse 2]
You keep certain knickknacks there
Your memory but rarely takes them out
Necessity is a large pie
And patriarchy bends down to give you a piece
The game becomes familiar but your not
So unpredictably winded back peddling
—— (5:45) ——
[Verse 1]
Are you happy
Now that you know
Are you sorry
I was terrified to leave
Five a.m. and freezing
She's sleeping in her clothes
I fell into a gypsy cab and
I could do the math
[Chorus]
If you take a lover
Will you tell me when it happens
Because its worse to imagine it
[Verse 2]
A little something in the chocolate
Let me call up an old friend
Enough with the taxman records
Leave a man alone
He'll get lost in his own home
[Chorus]
If you take a lover
Will you tell me when it happens
Because its worse to imagine it
Worse to imagine
—— (8:28) ——
[Verse 1]
Baby are you crying
Shaking and alone
Afraid to lose the things
That mean the most
[Verse 2]
Weightless with arms wide open
Miles from Los Angeles coast
You've got a violent temp
You come home and we'll try to start
A new life and pull the sadness up and off of us
And i can be better to you
A ghost in the the hotel ballroom
—— (10:55) ——
[Verse 1]
Here I lie in the absence
Of her last breath
Hold my disappointment to my chest
The nightmare begins
Then settles in to the floorboards
The city cries and I stumble blindly
To save my last goodbye
[Verse 2]
At the hollow below her call upon
I listen in the morning for a voice I've known
The evening falls over my body like
Guiltiness her memory dies
And I stumble blindly to save my last goodbye
