The Mountain Goats - Chinese House Flowers lyrics

The wax paper that I taped over the windows Melted quick as chocolate in the heat It'll probably never come off now The windows look like frosted gla** if you see them from the street And the dim light that filters through Casts a new light on you It makes me get all misty because I remember something And then I see a shadow And I wanna follow you all the way down this time I want to see what it is you're going down for I want you more than I want anything I want you the way you were You were lying in the moonlight Outside in the gra** When I heard an animal voice somewhere in the dark And I saw a wing shadow pa** And just then the gleam in your eye Made my blood freeze There was something up above us Rustling in the branches of the trees And I pressed up against you again I could hear your heartbeat, steady and hard and pure I used to love you so much that I was sure it would k** me And I want you the way you were
