Glory, glory, glory to the night that shows me what I am
As I go to the party on my knees, saying, "Take it all, please..."

It's been you and me, since before I was me
Without you I don't yet know quite how to live

And so she'd wake the rest of her nights
In that house
Feeding all the hounds at its mouth

Time was a strange reverb of everything
Distant bells ringing

The distance between us solved by a shrug
Just a shrug of dark matter
Just a shrug of dark matter

But, do mi ti, why not me?
Why not me?

You're my number one
You're the one I want
And I've turned down
Every hand that has beckoned me to come

If you're going, take the train
So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble
And when you go, take this heart
I'll make no more use of it when there's no more you

Come back to mine, we'll pretend it ends tomorrow

In the rear-view mirror, I saw the setting sun on your neck
And felt the taste of you bubble up inside me

See the dark, it moves with every breath of the breeze

And at least in this lifetime, we're sticking together
Me and my husband, we're sticking together
Me and my husband, we are doing better

It's a windy afternoon, can't afford to buy my food
Or the drive I need to go further than they said I'd go

That love is like a star, it's gone, we just see it shining
'Cause it's traveled very far, I'll keep a leftover light burning
So you can keep looking up
I am yours

Went to your room thinking, maybe, you'll feel something
But all I saw was your burning body waiting
All these twenty years on a vacation

Just don't leave me alone wondering where you are
I am stronger than you give me credit for

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

Freight train stampedin' through my backyard
It'll run across the plains like the new buffalo replaced

Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah

Death said I'd called, not knowing that I did
She said she wished I'd known that I'm still just a kid
But knew I would call again
So she'd mosey on back in case next time's really the end

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

If I could keep anything of you
I would keep just this quiet after you

My baby, my baby, you're my baby, say it to me
Baby, my baby, tell your baby that I'm your baby

It's why I've arrived, your sex god, here to take you where
You need to go
To where the dark remembers you

Open up your heart, like the gates of hell

And then I get sick and throw up and there's another memory that gets stuck
Inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk
And it may be a few years, but you can bet it's there, waiting still
For me to be left alone in a room full of things that I've done

Let's meet at the same time every morning
The blood in my gut is a thousand years old
But you are the sweetest infection
You are the sweetest infection

We tried and we failed to make a dance through stone
When sound hurts me like you, was I --
Ooh, I change nothing because I understand nothing

I never was very good
I haven't been so good
But right outside the door nobody knows
They're right outside the door and they don't know how it feels so good

It feels so good
And I don't need anything other than you

I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
God's very simple and love shouldn't burn
And I would've offered you all that you yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn

One morning, this sadness will fossilize, and I will forget how to cry
I'll keep going to work, and you won't see a change
Save, perhaps, a slight gray in my eye
