We thought we could have it all But we never could quite breach the wall I told you I loved you You responded with the same Please Lord I don’t want this to be yet another game
Both sides of the king-size occupied But so far over it might as well be apartheid Promises made That won’t be kept We each convinced the other that we actually slept
Just burn the fall Just burn it all
You came on the scene in that skin tight frock But hidden underneath was an encrypted lock I don’t want to be alone We just gotta wake up Please Lord just let me wake up
Tonight the sky’s on fire And I’m in the backyard making a pyre There’s liquor in my cup With the hole in the bottom Watching the leaves blow by in the chilled air of autumn
