lyrics

When they put their arm around you
I know what it says
“How has no one ever found you?”
Whispers your lonely bed

Do you feel upset about the debts that you’ve forgiven?
You do, but you don’t
But you don’t want it hanging over you

In the middle of the evening
There’s nowhere to go
In the silence or the screaming
You already know
Tell the model that you’re dressing
There’s nobody home
It’s the consonants you’re stressing
That hang up the phone

The bitter winds just might be fighting you but maybe
You really don’t want a sharp sword hanging over you

I know you’re trying
But the flowers are dying
Water is drying in streaks on your face

Tell them you’re no one
Just singing the slow ones
Witnesses waiting for something to fall into place

By the time you get a feeling
The coffee is cold
All the pennies that they’re stealing
Are plated in gold

I know I said you’re right
But I’ve been thinking maybe
You really ought to say I’m not staying here with you
