| The tears won't even come, I feel so numb, so swept aside, so dumb. | |
| And I feel the water rising around us. Maybe that's OK. | |
| And I thought, 'Well what could you say to make it ever make sense to his mother?' | |
| The razor was dull. The water cold against my skin. | |
| Just show me a glove covered hand, a perfumed dress is more than I can stand. | |
| And I feel as though I've done something wrong. How I miss you when you're gone. | |
| We looked so silly there all decomposed, half turned to dust in tattered clothes, though we probably look just as silly now. | |
| Some of it is just transcendental, and some of it is just really dumb. | |
| All the bowing and waving, so goddamn polite. I was thinking of jumping from my window last night. | |
| I was only twenty-one, I wasn't having any fun and the words you said tore through my head like bullets from a gun. | |
| We traded blindness for wisdom and some lines around our eyes. | |
| Oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong. I must disagree, oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong. | |
| But you were always a mess. You were always aloof. It's awful I guess. But it's the awful truth. | |
| If you're a shepherd, then I'll be your sheep until dawn, oh until dawn. | |
| I feel the restless beat of the sleepless night to come. | |
| The way that you screamed. They way that you cried. The way that you'd wipe your eyes and fall against my side. | |
| You'd give anything for her to say them once more, the words you believed at the start. | |
| So many lives I've lived and died, but none so much as the one I lived with you. | |
| But you know those words that you said? They get stuck here in my head. And this feeling I dread? It makes me wish I was dead. | |
| Standing at your doorway, my stomach all tangled and tight. Have it your way. Oh god where are you tonight? | |
| It's the end, the end of the 70's. It's the end, the end of the century. | |
| And you feel hopeless and homeless and lost in the haze of the wine. | |
| If you'll avert your gaze from the word on the sign, let me whisper it in your ear: 'Cause the sign says 'run.' | |
| I'm a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a slur, I'm a boast, I'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a rhyme, I'm a ring... | |
| It was a shotgun forest wedding, but they forgot to bring the guns. | |
| You've got that callous mouth, all your endless doubts, we spent these fifteen weeks trying to work it out. | |
| We're not standing still for this firing line while you decide who lives, who dies. I hope you choke on all your lies! | |
| And you go home alone and you're checking your phone and you're looking at me like I'm something you own. | |
| And I feel this sinking feeling as Missy grabs my hand, and we lose ourselves in the harmonies, the white-robed beauty of this band. | |
| I got nothing to do but stare at these walls and take some time to screw my head on right. | |
| But all the people say, 'We won't forget the day. What you lived to see, it takes our breath away.' | |
| Your eyes so wide, your face aglow. It's the face of someone I don't know. | |
