Ever wonder why white clouds take flight
In the middle of the night
Just chasin' thunder's tail?
Ever wonder 'bout you and me
At the bottom of the sea
While both our souls set sail?
Ever think about me at night
How I'm never too kind?
Follow me, 'cause you know I'll fail
Make you wonder about heading home
Where your lovers can't roam
Stab your back, throw you down the well
You ever think about both our mouths
'round the barrel of a gun?
Make it fast, won't feel a thing
Ever think about hangin' out
From the limbs of the tree
Swing above our buried rings?
You ever think about givin' up?
Take the pills in that cup
Sleep forever if you knew you could?
Make me think about cuttin' close
To the veins that hold love
Let them bleed out on the wood
Always said we'd die together
Now you die alone
And you wonder why I burned you down
Always said we'd die together
Now you die alone
You always talk about this and that
Sing a rattle-a-tat
Takin' walks out by the moon
Can you think about getting old
Though I've never been sold
On eternity with you?
Mama, keep your thoughts of loving things
Burn your house and your dreams
Though I love that devil's sin
Darling, next time I grab your hand
When we walk by the sea
Know I just might throw you in
And you wonder why I burned you down
Sleep good and hold tight
Just know that I'll make it right
