lyrics

It starts with an order: “Try on the cement shoes”
I’m gonna find you someone new to sleep next to
He turns to a cluster, curses and cries
I try to feel sorry for him
But it’s you that’s consuming my mind

So you’re my reluctant well received in-betweener
My paddle, my puppet
My gorgeous accomplice dry cleaner
I want you to hold me
I swear that the splatter is dry
I’d have you beside me right now
But you said you have to work until 9

And you hardly even notice the time passing
That makes me crazy
You tend to shiver while I’m still sleeping in

I’ll kill any sucker within reach without reason
In attempt to discover the cost of your bleach bill increasing
But I need you to trust me
I drink a whole lot of red wine
If I told you once I told you twice
I’ve told you 3 or 4 million times

And you hardly even notice the blood splashing
That makes you hate me
You tend to shudder when I poke my head through

I was three quarters finished my fifth stolen soda
When I found that your findings from before
Were not holding over
So I drove you in circles which soon became lines
I was looking for signals from you
And I completely lost track of the signs

And I didn’t even notice the moose crossing
That made you lucky
You tend to buckle at the perfect time
