We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers trysts were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then, you, I can do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting my words on lower cases and capitals
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I lie for only you
And I lie well
Hallelujah
I lie for only you
And I lie well
Hallelujah
So keep the blood in your head
(I lie for only you)
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
(And I lie well)
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired, today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel
(Hallelujah)
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
