Down by the lake we were overturning pebbles
And upending all the animals alight
And I took a drag from your cigarette and pinched it
'Tween my finger and my thumb, till it had died
And the sun burned low on the radio
Say that you will, say you will or will you won't
Or you whatever you prevaricate your whole life, don't you?
This much I can say: I would've waited till the oceans fell away
And all the sunken cities would reveal themselves to you
But you won't, will you? Because you never do
And the sun burned through sweet as honeydew
And I, seventeen and terminally fey
I wrote it down and threw it all away
Never gave a thought to what I paid
And you, all sibylline, reclining in your pew
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
The things you would, and the things you wouldn't do
To tell the truth I never had a clue
Now we arise to curse those young suburban villains
And their ill-begotten children from the lawn
Come to me now, and on this station wagon window
Set the ghost of your two footprints
That they might haunt me when you're gone
And when the light broke dawn, you were forever gone
But I remember you: you were full
You were full and sweet as honeydew
And I, seventeen and terminally fey
I wrote it down and threw it all away
And never gave a thought to what I paid
And you, all sibylline, reclining in your pew
You tattered me, you tethered me to you
The things you would, and the things you wouldn't do
You noticed how I never had a clue, never had a clue
You were full and sweet as honeydew
You were full and sweet as honeydew

she's a long one
such a long one

I wanted you, I needed you

I lost you when s...
There's an island hidden in the sound
Lapping currents lay your boat aground
Affix your barb and bayonet
The curlews carve their arabesques
And sorrow...
On the lam from the law
On the steps of the Capitol
And I saw momentarily
They flashed a photograph, it couldn't be you
You'd been abused so horribly

Cut him up, boy
You got to cut him up, boy
He's a wicked disgrace
And he said it to your face
You better cut him up, boy
You take him by the teeth

Kick a hole in the hallway wall
Singing like a painted lady
Use your skull like a cannonball
But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go on...
So we already wrecked the rental car
And I’ve already lost my way
My feet entombed in this tourist bar
For a day, anyway
So lay me out on the cobblest...
