[00:09.503](I’m not hung up on you anymore, but here’s why I hung up)
[00:22.092]Behind every great love story
[00:27.196]Lies a great suicide
[00:32.226]You can't give yourself completely
[00:37.015]And keep the man inside
[00:41.919]All the sentences I climbed halfway
[00:46.504]Saw the heights of what I wanted to say
[00:50.925]And crawled from word to word
[00:56.337]Trying to get back down
[01:19.782]The unending realization
[01:24.574]That it's never gonna end
[01:28.902]I spend half the day exhaling
[01:33.820]And the other half holding my breath
[01:38.699]Cause living underwater was never my strength
[01:43.001]In the depths you reside, the sun never sinks
[01:47.743]So let’s float to the bottom for one final drink
[01:52.014]There’s time for one more tonight
[02:16.955]It’s time to forget while the forgetting’s good
[02:25.483]I’ll burn all the promises I carved out of your woulds
[02:34.208]You said won't you come into arm's reach
[02:38.543]Abandon your clothes and modes of speech
[02:42.961]An infant reborn you shall be
[02:47.389]Helpless and afraid
[03:09.307]I’m waving goodbye every time you go to the store
[03:17.781]I hope you break your hand the next time you slam the door
[03:25.839]Because I burned my fingers every night
[03:29.729]When your own shaking hands wouldn’t give you a light
[03:34.029]And I said “Jesus Christ, my parents were right
[03:38.136]I never should’ve smoked you out”
[03:59.512]I’d hate to amputate this artificial limb
[04:08.433]But staring at you, my glass eyes are growing dim
[04:16.531]I can’t even blame you for looking so smug
[04:20.199]I have to admit you’re a hell of a drug
[04:24.389]So pack up the boxes, roll me up with the rug
[04:28.768]I’m not moving out, I’m just moving
[04:49.980](Kissed) I kissed you, yes, but never on the mouth
[04:56.998](Masochist) You held the north while I conquered the south
[05:05.873]But I don't want a territorial breach
[05:09.705]So at the edge of the bed, we'll meet
[05:13.395]And I want you to **** me in your sleep
[05:17.417]It's the only way I'll ever know that you love me
[05:31.580](Cause there's always gotta be a new angle)
[05:38.407]Guns are loaded with silver bullets tonight
[05:45.367]But it’s useless, you kept me waiting until it was light
[05:53.267]But you can’t go out the way you came in
[05:56.779]In the arms of someone unaware of your sins
[06:00.938]Because I’ve been recording this whole ******* thing
[06:05.048]Now you can never use the same chord changes again
[06:15.090](The first time was too fast
[06:18.160]The second time was just sad)
[06:25.170]If you’re wondering why I’m still willing to take the fall
[06:32.791]If I’m not getting ****** over, I’m not getting ****** at all
[06:40.782]But I never asked for immunity
[06:43.840]That’s the difference between you and me
[06:47.739]All I wanted was someone who was just like me
[06:51.437]And I hate myself for that
[07:11.297]It’s getting hard to talk about the past
[07:18.481]When you’ve copyrighted the present, no questions asked
[07:26.469]You can do whatever you want with my name
[07:29.766]But my body has never been public domain
[07:33.486]So if you’re looking for somebody to blame
[07:36.888]Blame Walt Disney Studios
[07:56.001]I remember I was walking around outside, talking to you on the phone
[08:02.977]We were both avoiding the parties we attended alone
[08:11.076]And I looked up at the drunken moon
[08:14.125]It was round and it was grey and it looked like the moon
[08:17.461]And I said, “at least we’ve both got the moon”
[08:21.294]And you said, “I’m inside”
[08:25.558]So I’ll try loving again
[08:29.132]And you’ll try living alone
[08:32.594]And we’ll meet at the end of this lifetime
[08:35.805]And compare notes
[09:56.885]I hate your receptionist
[10:00.823]She looks at me like I’m retarded
[10:05.028]When I’m filling out your forms
[10:11.355]I see your form behind the frosted glass
[10:15.827]But she says that you’re not there
[10:19.414]I’ll have to be content to wait
[10:26.436]If you felt some kind of stirring
[10:31.609]Against interpretation
[10:34.760]Why write these songs at all?
[10:42.037]Why not become didactic
[10:46.045]Tell everyone on the planet
[10:49.140]In plain English what you are
[10:57.589]But I am the gentle cannibal
[11:04.919]I promise to eat you softly
[11:12.482]You won’t notice a thing
[11:37.625]Mariamme, Hold me tight
[11:45.709]You’re taking advice from Lady Macbeth
[11:50.309]William, one shot two shots
[11:59.327]When it’s out of your hands, you try to forget
[12:04.702]Mariamme, hold me tight
[12:08.918]I still wish you hadn’t listened to me
[12:09.401](If I could transfer your desires into belongings)
[12:12.432]I ain’t been right since the execution
[12:13.958](And then snoop through your belongings, you know I’d do it in a second)
[12:18.559]William, one shot two shots
[12:22.217]Whoever you are, just hold me tight
[12:26.981]I lost my love, my life, that night-
[12:30.982]All I know is, one of us was supposed to kill the other
[12:37.979]Isn’t that what they mean when they say ‘lovers’?
[12:45.497]But murder is dirty, and peace comes cheap
[12:52.993]So here’s my new number, tell me when you’re free
[13:58.038]Down by the river
[14:03.537]I shot my baby
[14:08.745]Down by the river
[14:16.039]Down by the river
[14:21.587]I shot my baby
[14:27.684]Down by the river
[14:33.965]Down by the river
[14:40.373]I shot my baby
[14:46.717]Down by the river
[14:53.155]Down by the river
[14:59.351]I shot my baby
[15:06.477]Down by the river
[15:12.727]Down by the river
[15:18.432]I shot my baby
[15:25.567]Down by the river
