Doing Yourself In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whisky crosswords, such a list of lost love
A twist of the trysts, like an accidental trip
Frost covered and faking the shakes
So white and she's burning
She purrs. So ditched and deadly
The sweetest melody
At 23, she sees the future, her dreams are dark
A hand in hand of the rest
We met the same way we left
We stay hidden and unforgiven
Too young to know the difference
Between words whispered out of love
And words we could have screamed so easily
23, she sees the future, her dreams are dark
At 23, she sees the future
A kiss and the whisper
With the hint of the danger
An instrumental heart of the plan
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
It's only an element, just a small part of the plan
It's only an element, just a small part of the plan
Lost love, you say, lost love, you say
Lost love, you say, lost love, you say
A kiss and the whisper
With the hint of the danger
An instrumental heart of the plan
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
She's got stars in her eyes for me and some other guys
She knows the business, she knows we're in this
She loves her free
