(Instrumental)
Don't touch my vein with your new needle
Don't be afraid of the pine beetle
Just rest assured that there will be another day to
And maybe here and maybe not
And I'm not sure of all we've got
A season ticket to the war for the human heart
So let us gather by the light
Some people have, some people might
I hold you in my mind tonight to great distraction
And tender is my sleepy bed
Nightclub me in my sleepy head
And eating dinner with your friends
By their cabin on the lake
And has it really been this long since we were free
I will now hold my head up high
And I will walk into the light
Erasing every trace in sight of every memory
So what's your problem, what's your beef?
I've got this gap between my teeth
And but for this I might have been a different man
And by your watch some time will pass
And buy your wine from glass to glass
I have seen the coming of our precious Lord
We all unfold our pages from right to left
Some day I'll get a used guitar
And on it's strings I'll try to play
This lonesome tune to you
We all have sinned, we all have saved
As much of this our true heart gave
We all have given to our grave our own excesses
So watch me blow in two somehow
Part Claire De Lune part sacred cow
VERSE 1:
This might sound a bit crazy.
But I can't help but say it.
I'll tell you what I saw and you tell what you think.
This a.m. after breakfast,
I was crusin' past the sidewalk exit,
Up, the store where you work every mornin'.
And this blonde-haired boy with this trumpit toy,
And his new shoes on,
And your hair was long,
You were flippin it left and right as you were.
He was sayin things you were listenin,
You were talkin back,
You thought I didn't see that,
But, baby everybody's always said I had eyes behind my hat.
CHORUS:
I held you in close up.
I held you in close up.
I didn't wanna get too excited, wasn't invited to the party
So I didn't come in.
VERSE 2:
Ah girl I held you in close up, and you lied.
I know I'm abrasive, but I'm not control creation.
I just demand what I need and I trash what's left.
We're tired that's alright.
We learn to believe in cold nights,
And many we seen in this outfit.
Cloudy skies with you, rainy eyes with you,
And this other jake, he's such a flake,
And he slimed me with every intention.
What a tragedy, what a sight to see,
Now I'm throwin dirt, because that really hurt,
And no,nnnnnn,nothin's gonna make me believe we could be what we were.
CHORUS
Ohhh, I held you in close up
And you lied to my face.
Ah baby, you been a bad, bad, girl.
I held you in close up (X7)
And thhissss issss whaaaa, ohhh, ohhhhh, it's what I get.
And so exactly what went on between you two?
The night was hot; I was away from you
It's time to confess; did you wear your red dress? Oh, I knew!
You're forgiven now, but I still need to know
Just tell me how and tell me slow
Did he undo your bra; did he make it that far, yes or no?
Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head when you had a stranger in our bed
And did he touch you there and did it feel like bliss?
And did he stroke your hair; tell me about every kiss
And when he made you come, was it more thrilling doing something like this?
Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
Is this a feeling of something
About to happen?
Like snapping out of something I didn't realize I was in.
Was I sleeping?
What?
How can you be so sure
If you've never been here before?
I don't understand,
It can't be that easy.
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you
I can't keep my hands of you
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you
Chorus
Get back, get away from them
It's all wrong
Keep calm for a moment
Look in my eyes
Get back, get away 'cause
This could get ugly
If you think that i'll let you go
You're out of your mind
Oh my god,
I'm not supposed to say this
'Cause I know that you're trouble but...
Is that your real name and why are you doing this?
And how did I get here?
Ok..no more questions,
No worries
It's destination unknown
So dive in
The waters great
Listen i'm starting to speak like you
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you
You can do no wrong
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you
