lyrics

I watched you dance,
It was slow, it was sweet and it was filled with romance from old movie scenes
And we watched the tv,
It flickered and sputtered some carnival scene and you smiled heavenly,
And there’s a bottle on the bed,
You took one last sip and lit up one of your 50’s cigarettes, and passed it to me.

And you told me that some days are golden and others just paint the world blue
Some go on forever and others forget how to bloom
And me I’m an ocean, I’m wild an unkindly cruel

And even those tears that now run down your face,
even they will all one day have to evaporate,
They’ll all float up join the rain in the clouds,
And they’ll all fall down on this dry hard ground,
And they’ll grow the grass all around these meadows
as we lie on our backs and finally let go
To the things in this life that we never really needed
as we kissed under the light that was escaping the evening

You lay on your side; your eyes they were burning they were redder than the new England sunrise,
I turned out the light, we could hear the trucks roaring and tearing through the warm air outside
Metal machine lullabies.
