[Verse]

Death knell for a old flame

Still ringing in your man's heart

New light through an old pane fights the shadow boxer

Hands up when the bell rings

You can take off your gloves

Honey, you can't compete with the prodigal love

[Chorus]

Tell me, baby, was I in your dreams last night

All black; the priest reading the last rites

Never wake me up

We can live forever

Holding on in love's planned obsolescence

[Verse]

Twin fates limn a fault line

Shook a boy from his shadow

Carved her in the echo of a voice down the mountain

Earth shakes and the cracks bloom

A voice swells in its own wake

Honey, you can't compete with no prodigal love

[Chorus]
