Your gaze is down, your face is red

There’s crystals forming in your eyes

The shadows swim in your pillow’s indent

Your blood’s all blue again

The lines dance on your favourite bedspread

You always like to straighten them out

I guess you got that from your dad

I feigned love to fall in it

I called a spade a spade and now I’m all ashamed

And I was raised to make the best of all I have

Now what’s my best good for?

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

And on and on we go

Who’s down in the garden tonight

Every drink’s on you but not the joke

You take stock of all the laughing

And every flower bows as you walk by

You painted pickets in a cul-de-sac

And looked out on the street that stretched out forever

And day followed night and on it went

And you wished your friends all the best

I feigned love to fall in it

I called a spade a spade and now I’m all ashamed

And I was raised to make the best of all I have

Now what’s my best good for?

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

And on and on we go

Tracing eyes with your eyes as you watch the news

Tragedy is everywhere

Okay for some and better for you, I s’pose

And you can slide like the grease on a gun

Always clicking with your mouth

And your lips can kiss and they like to

Gotta find a sweet girl

High and low I don’t know them

Bridges over water I don’t trouble myself

And I was raised to make the best of all I have

Now what’s my best good for?

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

And on and on we go

Rounding corners just to round back again

Your mind really loves to drive

But you’re talking green and the lights are red

Eyeballs scour the sidewalk

And your week is an ocean, the -end: an island

And you’ve been swimming all damn day

Yeh we all bottom out when we have to feed

And you’ve worked up quite an appetite

I feigned love to fall in it

I called a spade a spade and now I’m all ashamed

And I was raised to make the best of all I have

Now what’s my best good for?

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

Ooh, for a four bit love

And on and on we go
