And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I don't know how stupid you all think I am
But as sure as flowers grow along the western wall, some heads are going to roll

Set the table, those three extra places
One for me, one for your doubts, and one for God

Walk by faith
Tell no one what you've seen

I will be made a new creature
One bright day

I don't give a rat's ass, you rat bastards

It's gone on like this for three years I guess
And we're drunk all the time and our lives are a mess

If there's one thing that I'm not going to do tonight
It's die for you

Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania

My love for you is ninety-eight percent pure
But the two percent that remains
Has fried the circuits in my brain

And when the sun comes, try not to hate the light
Someday we'll try to walk upright

He was my hero back when I was a kid
You let me down, but Chavo never once did
You called him names to try to get beneath my skin
Now, your ashes are scattered on the wind

And once there was a desk
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
I left in the top drawer


Let 'em all go
Let 'em all go

Try to find
An antidote for strychnine

The morning comes to a stuttering halt
The cool breeze that blows is somebody's fault

I held on to you with a desperate strength
With everything, with everything in me

I can't stand it when you tell our infant son
that he was born beneath a bad sign

From films no one remembers, they call down silently
But I remember when their names were dear to you and me

And you tell me the sidewalk is as far as the world really goes
But that's a secret everybody knows

Remember at your peril
Forget the ones you can

Mosquitos suck the blood right out of my body
Why don't they finish the job

But this world couldn't hold you
You slipped free

Yeah, but you're going to do
What you want to do
No matter what
I ask of you
And you send your dark messengers
To tempt me
I come from Chino so all your threats are empty

It seems like everyone's cut me free
And left to the tenders care
Of my faceless enemy

We do our best vampire routines
As we suck the dying hours dry

Renew the assault on my lungs and my liver

I've got very little money left
And I got no sense
But I'll have none of your goddamned impudence

After one long season of waiting
After one long season of wanting
I am breaking open

And we will never be alone in this world
No matter what they say
We're gonna be okay

Goodbye young Danish women
Goodbye Danish sky
Goodbye cold air, I am going away
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
