Aden

Matinee idol from the first

He's somewhat forgetful but alert

They call you angelic but you feel like such a jerk

You watch all his keepers claim the purse

Doer this make you feel worse?

To wirness this foray

Reservoir dies and he's just prey


Or do you feel fine with confusion and decay?

Just pleasantries keep us afloat

Make us wait outside, turn delusion into pay

It's hour by hour it's note by note

Can't be your day

Fend all serenades away

Shape that was your shade

(Chorus) Brief summer rains
Flooding the streets but it's not the same
As a tide rolling in
Ready for news but it's just a hint


Nights by the lake

Ribs and lemonade Tom Verlaine

Tape on auto-play

(chorus)

Seem carved from stone tonight

Stuck in some odd relief painless every time

Just say where it's been

Just say what it costs

Just say what you want

Think they'll be home tonight

Explains some empty streets seamless every time

Dear John thanks for your letter

And if you must know i still wear you sweater

And gee it's nice how your miss me so much

But through it all I feel I've lost touch

Got more confident out here on my own

And one thing I'm starting a home

(chorus)
A Lovelier man you'll never meet has come and swept me off my feet
Suits my interests in every way we'll be making babies someday


It all happened with little ado

In fact when i fell off a gnu

A mysterious man dressed up in a sack

Soothed my aches as he massaged by back

Told me its difference between riding a horse

Took me away for a meat pie and sauce

(chourus)

Before I knew it I was deep in romance

He took my hand and we started to dance

Led me off to his house in the mountains

I fell asleep in his garden of foutains

When I awoke amongst chshions and drapes

He was smilingly eating some grapes




▶이 곡은 호주밴드 나이스(Nice) 곡의 리메이크.
보통 '존에게'로 시작한다고 하여(존이란 알다시피 영어권에서 가장 흔한 남자이름의 대표격) 여자가 사귀던 남자에게 이별을 고하는 편지를 'dear John letter'라고도 하는데, 이 곡 역시 그 맥락에서 읽을 수 있음.

Neighbors argue all night feel it through the floor

Every pointed remark you can't help but absorb

Irreproachable, I'm not one to condemn

Lifeless stare empty eyes blameless to the end

Declared twice over this quarantine is your new home

Dull reactor your head feels like it might implode

This street's been closed foe seven years and counting

It's just as fair as it seems

I thought it'd only be two days to see this through

So they're still here and you're just waiting, hoping

But you can't tell what they mean

I thought it'd only be two days yo see this throught

I need you too

Take 3 to place say that it feels right

Same mistake you make every odd race

But you say that it feels right

I know that you need this

Hope it can end your dry spell since the Preakness

Line 'em up again


(chorus) These waves of smoke make me fell high
It must be too late to even up the score
You'd rather bet on this some more
There's no secrets hidden in the form


Take 3 to win sure you should try this

Like the speed bias it lengthens those odds

You're sure you should try this like the spees bias
(chorus)
