I've sung to a corpse
Looked a baby in the eyes
While I ****** its protector
And I played a house of lies
The film won't stop rolling
Till I'm cold and all alone
How long will you stay silent
While I listen on the phone?
I found you out west
We were both so far from home
You belonged to someone else
How the **** could I have known
I wrote you a song
But you knew it was a joke
I'd take back the things I said
If I knew I wouldn't choke
The friends we made are gone
I'm convinced they were a dream
The joker and the ***** were much deeper than they seemed
We all survived together
In that new and scary land
You told me you were happy
That first time I grabbed your hand
Each night alone with you
I thought our bond could never end
How fast you were seduced, by that man you called a friend
All the flowers in the world
Couldn't keep you by my side
Your passion faded darker as each wilted petal died
Now you've run away
Into the safety of your lamb
But if you ever need to find me
I'm still lost in Muskingham
