lyrics

She said "your body's here
You left your brain behind"
"He'll be here, he just needs some time
The streets seem like a maze, they wind
Between night and the day I find
A motel advertised by neon sign
With my dollar-store porn
I paid a dime''
She said "get to the important line
I need to get home before the trains resign"
"Well, as I sat and heard the motel's moan and hum
I thought of what it was
I want us to become
You can give me any finger, I'd prefer a thumb
But remember when we bought that Jamaican rum
And you pulled my hair and I didn't care
Neighbours couldn't do much but sit and stare
Cops buzzed the line, told 'em we weren't there
Can we bring back that time, have you heard my prayer?"

He said "I poured my heart into your glass
And you would just deny it
Anything you need just come and ask
and I would supply it"
She said "you pain, you sore inside my ass
We've done this too many times
And the last time that I gave you a chance
you just left me behind
Between the hooded chants, the brown striped pants
You knew you'd crossed the line
And if it weren't for the low cost of postage stamps
I would've lost my mind"
Then he cried "No, we'll find a brand new dance
Where we don't spend so much time together
I'll cross an ocean, my full devotion is yours
We will die together"

We've been back together for just a few days
And I gotta say, you're getting on my nerves
But I love it when you start yelling at me
Because honestly, you've got a way with words
And I never stopped running because you never
Gave me a place to hurt
My visions going funny, oh hunny
We look the same when blurred
Let's drive to where the stained glass grows on trees
To where we both fly upon the breeze
And when we're there, where no sight compares
Neither of us will ever leave
This dime a dozen love we breathe
Is a baker's dozen times naive
But you and I will last for life
Until the next time, I believe
