lyrics
You keep to yourself when your loved ones forget all their lines
The sore sadness of sugar in coffees consumed by the night
With the old Queen of Hearts the lamentable passage of time
So you chainsmoke till morning to scare off the dark from the sky
And no one will know what you’ve seen in those
Carcinogenic collections of magazines
And the Sun Will Rise.
It’s the sneaking suspicion these stars I’ve been wishing on burned out many a long year ago
But you hoard all the harmful thoughts, drown them in eyeshadow, bleach out the doubts and then call me tomorrow
You’re broadcasting sadness, a mono lament with consciousness running at fifty percent
All these trivial timetables Christmas displays, the wind keeps on whistling the deepest of grays and you’re stuck in the haze so you learn how to pray, you learn how to pray, you learn how to pray mon cher salome.
So we spoke of the lake effect and Battery park how the lights chase the shadows fluorescence of afterdark the flaws in the filament deep in the heart that preserve the enigma of night
And if the sun were eternal we’d never make fire in the dearth was the birth of your harmful desires the leaves stain the ground as the trees soon retire to their solitude of Inverness
The sore sadness of sugar in coffees consumed by the night
With the old Queen of Hearts the lamentable passage of time
So you chainsmoke till morning to scare off the dark from the sky
And no one will know what you’ve seen in those
Carcinogenic collections of magazines
And the Sun Will Rise.
It’s the sneaking suspicion these stars I’ve been wishing on burned out many a long year ago
But you hoard all the harmful thoughts, drown them in eyeshadow, bleach out the doubts and then call me tomorrow
You’re broadcasting sadness, a mono lament with consciousness running at fifty percent
All these trivial timetables Christmas displays, the wind keeps on whistling the deepest of grays and you’re stuck in the haze so you learn how to pray, you learn how to pray, you learn how to pray mon cher salome.
So we spoke of the lake effect and Battery park how the lights chase the shadows fluorescence of afterdark the flaws in the filament deep in the heart that preserve the enigma of night
And if the sun were eternal we’d never make fire in the dearth was the birth of your harmful desires the leaves stain the ground as the trees soon retire to their solitude of Inverness
