the city's so tall
we can hardly see

the city spits fire and ash
we're calculations
we're hungry and half as bad
well math just burns in all directions
let's make it easy

we're counting bones
we're counting everything
we can do the things oh calculate em up
or we can
just burn our bones
talk about the afterlife and oh
when we stop
we can do the things or calculate em up
or we can just
we're counting bones
we're counting everything

the days i kept with strangers
were the only ones with peace
trade it in for comfort
this is a love you cannot
lead
well, i won't keep you laughing
and i won't love you long
i know i'm not all that you need
you're not all i need
of course
it's just my way
of keeping straight
situations i can't save
know there is nowhere i have found
that makes me want to stick around
one place
for longer than we can change
it's happening it's happening it's happening
it's hardly happening but
well on waking, oh, we can hardly see
we barely speak
and you will tell me to wait
and when i wait
when are we to fall behind
we fan wait or we can watch the line
on when are we on, when are we on?
we'll get over it
we will get over it
but when you aren't sure
like this

my gasoline in mint julep, is a very
sturdy little girl
pinned to her skirt, is saint veronica
bored and mystic with an open side
to be born at the faces
and matters that precise
like a girlschool schoolgirls chattering
like all the tears in the jars
and all the same old songs
all the same old songs
all the christians in the lions clothing
they're heroes or so they told me
all the christians in the lions' clothing
they're heroes or so they told me
all myths are written
in the sack, with a flashlight
and a flask, and a cigarette
and all the time that's left
all the time that's left
we are all we are all
we are all we're all outside
it's not that hot its not that hot
it's not that hot, not that hot
everybody
everybody out
everybody
everybody out
we were we were so inclined
to get that use
oh, and we got it.
we got that old
