lyrics
when the only eye you have is blind
and the only thing left in your mind
is the fantasy you can’t forgive
and the love she left you with…
and her ballroom dress still spinning ‘round
and your tongue in pieces on the ground
and you can’t anticipate the sound
of the love she left you with…
you start to find things where they weren’t before
souvenirs of bodies you adored
and they follow you through open doors
to the cold – I wish you would
oh my darling, what I’d like to do
is to take a little piece of you
do you think that you could lend me two?
for a day? I wish you would
with any luck we’ll roll past Elysium
colonize some dirty town
with any luck we’ll roll together
the long way down
oh, by morning
in the middle of Hell, the lakes will
look like swimming holes
and the farther we get from the border of Heaven
those gates’ll look like bunions on our souls
with any luck we’ll roll past Elysium,
colonize some dirty town,
with any luck we’ll roll together,
the long way down
I begged your hands to gore me
but I didn’t know you’d let me wait so long
we were a bore but the Styx it roared
like the Rio Rio Rio Grande
oh in the matter of time it takes to be losing her
I will sing an ode to Figaro
oh in the matter of time it takes to be losing her
I’ll dance Juliet and Romeo
and the only thing left in your mind
is the fantasy you can’t forgive
and the love she left you with…
and her ballroom dress still spinning ‘round
and your tongue in pieces on the ground
and you can’t anticipate the sound
of the love she left you with…
you start to find things where they weren’t before
souvenirs of bodies you adored
and they follow you through open doors
to the cold – I wish you would
oh my darling, what I’d like to do
is to take a little piece of you
do you think that you could lend me two?
for a day? I wish you would
with any luck we’ll roll past Elysium
colonize some dirty town
with any luck we’ll roll together
the long way down
oh, by morning
in the middle of Hell, the lakes will
look like swimming holes
and the farther we get from the border of Heaven
those gates’ll look like bunions on our souls
with any luck we’ll roll past Elysium,
colonize some dirty town,
with any luck we’ll roll together,
the long way down
I begged your hands to gore me
but I didn’t know you’d let me wait so long
we were a bore but the Styx it roared
like the Rio Rio Rio Grande
oh in the matter of time it takes to be losing her
I will sing an ode to Figaro
oh in the matter of time it takes to be losing her
I’ll dance Juliet and Romeo
