“Maybe when our story's over,
we'll go where it's always spring


The band is playing our song again…”

"I miss your broken china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
Then you burn your mansion to the ground."

“I know how we danced
And we swallowed the night
Her long hair black as a raven”

“I'll tell you all my secrets,
but I lie about my past”

"And the goddamned delivery trucks,
they make too much noise
And we don't get our butter
delivered no more."

"Lookin' for someone
to chop the lumber
in his pants"

“I never told the truth
so I can never tell a lie”

“And the road was like a ribbon
and the moon was like a bone”

“thighs and hips
from the nape of her neck
to the lips tick lips”

“Yeah, you see I'm kinda selfish about my privacy
Now as long as I can be with me
We get along so well I can't even believe it”
