[Verse 1]

Our voices joined in a high note now over

Breathless we fall

Caught in the hanging cords now silent

Grabbed my hand in the nausea

[Chorus]

I made a bed out of irony lie with me

In my broken bones

Deliberated cheek to cheek

In the final blow

[Verse 2]

I laid down in the quivering grass

Your legs so frail that you crawl after your convictions

My skin begins to pale in the dark

I grab your hand in the nausea

[Chorus]

I made a bed out of irony lie with me

In my broken bones

Deliberated cheek to cheek

In the final blow

—— (2:54) ——

[Verse 1]

You grow younger

Pulling my future like a toy train

Afraid of the dark

In a hotel room you sleep and lay

[Hook]

You leave your dedication

On the table and

Along with her tip

Here I am back peddling

[Verse 2]

You keep certain knickknacks there

Your memory but rarely takes them out

Necessity is a large pie

And patriarchy bends down to give you a piece

The game becomes familiar but your not

So unpredictably winded back peddling

—— (5:45) ——

[Verse 1]

Are you happy

Now that you know

Are you sorry

I was terrified to leave

Five a.m. and freezing

She's sleeping in her clothes

I fell into a gypsy cab and

I could do the math

[Chorus]

If you take a lover

Will you tell me when it happens

Because its worse to imagine it

[Verse 2]

A little something in the chocolate

Let me call up an old friend

And alphabetize my records

Leave a man alone

He'll get lost in his own home

[Chorus]

If you take a lover

Will you tell me when it happens

Because its worse to imagine it

Worse to imagine

—— (8:28) ——

[Verse 1]

Baby are you crying

Shaking and alone

Afraid to lose the things

That mean the most

[Verse 2]

Weightless with arms wide open

Miles from Los Angeles coast

You gotta fight until

You come home and we'll try to start

A new life and pull the sadness up and off of us

And I can be better to you

A ghost in the the hotel ballroom

—— (10:55) ——

[Verse 1]

Here I lie in the absence

Of her last breath

Hold my disappointment to my chest

The nightmare begins

Then settles in to the floorboards

The city cries and I stumble blindly

To save my last goodbye

[Verse 2]

At the hollow below her call upon

I listen in the morning for a voice I've known

The evening falls over my body like

Guiltiness her memory dies

And I stumble blindly to save my last goodbye
