Arrest the boy

Warm between the eyes

As he jackknifes into winter

Stung like a cutthroat trout in the cathedral heat

Sick as a dog, shaking like a leaf

You have to look close to see what this disease has done to me

Arrest the boy

The hayseed with the song in his heart

As he writhes through the winter

Stung like a cutthroat trout in the cathedral heat

Sick as a dog, shaking like a leaf

You have to look close to see what this disease has done to me

You go whole hog when you like someone

I go apeshit when you forget me

Well, I forget what it's like to be kissing in the middle of a terrible dream

I forget what it's like to be kissing in the middle of a terrible storm

What a terrible thing

To be kissing the middle of you
