lyrics

And not to say there are second thoughts, no. You're the same you always are, a stone's throw. If I don't leave I'll break you more. Still, I see a new heretofore. I'll run away and open up a small store. And I meet her in God's country and we talk sex over coffee. And the split in her lip indicates how she likes it; the values of a nuclear family. By default I'm better off alone. Despite your grave I feel safe on the back roads. I finally feel self control; you'll never need be beautiful. We'll hold our tongues and get along I hope. And we'll live like in the movies when our music makes our money. I won't think myself sick of dying young or getting bored of it, so we keep on having babies. I'm lost in the war. You're in my bedroom and I know you're dead, you are just a lonely ghost. Look out our window and you'll see our house on a cliff over the coast. It's late at night and I'm beside myself with the one I miss the most. You're in my bedroom and I know you're dead, you are just a lonely ghost.
