Some nights I thirst for real blood
For real knives For real cries And then the flash of steel from real guns In real life Really fills my mind And I really miss what really did exist When I held your throat so tight And I miss the bus as it swerved from us Almost came crashing to its side Sometimes the blood from real cuts Feels real nice When it's really mine And if you want it to be real Come over for one night And we can really, really climb And those blue bridge lights might really burn most bright As we watch that dark lake rise And if you really want to see what really matters most to me Just take a real short drive It's just a drive into the dark stretch Long stretch of night Will really stretch this shaking mind And this room, unlit, unheated And the ceiling striped And the dark black blinds I want to know this time if you're really finally mine I need to know that you're not lying so I want to see you tried And I don't want to hear you say it shouldn't really be this way 'Cause I like this way just fine 'Cause there's nothing quite like the blinding light That curtains cast aside And no attempt is made to explain away The things that really, really, really, really, really are behind You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide |

Maybe we could break your ankle clean and unsuspiciously
An E.R. trip, a doctor's slip and you could share your pills with me Won't it feel so good though when we're lying Side by side can't move and I'm not trying Two thousand milligrams each A hotel by the pharmacy With drinking straws in toothpaste tubes Stash them with your toiletries And I will share my pills with you Little Michael sleeping in the child safety seat Lying with the windows rolled up in the August heat Three thousand milligrams each Four thousand milligrams We're driving down the interstate You're feeling great, you scratch your wrist And we pretend your kids, your husband, all you left does not exist And in some motel that night we're lying I can barely whisper It's like dying Well baby, do you know what I mean Well baby, did you hear me? Well baby, you fell asleep I know I'm weak, I won't deny We'll see our trial some day soon When I know we're fucked I'll halve the pile and share my pills with you 'Cause we've felt fully in our bodies And we've felt totally alive So we're prepared to float above this dirty bed where we both lie Where we lie, lie, lie Will we be fine? Not this time |

Oh, my enemy, you've got company, you're not alone. They're watching over me while each town you pass fades as it folds. So in the night we might get lost in our fright. So in the day softly we'd flow, floating away. And it pours from the faucet's mouth like our fortune comes flowing out - every word of which, without a doubt, will find us together and together bring us down. They'll tie us down with those fine thin threads and run their knives up and down our skin, until what was in will be out again, above the sea on that sunny ledge. And in the day softly we'll flow, floating away. And in the night we will get lost, lost in our fright. La la la la
