Laments

It's a green-striped sheet

Lifted from me i am free

Of two very heavy bodies

Once we three had slept soundly,

I couldn't keep them around

Fold the blankets down and

Found new sleeping ground

Bedsprings squeeking

Tires squealing away

From one another

We all used to be lovers here

Bodies laying say they'll stay

Just like boxes, stacked

The same way

Labeled and separated. Hey

Go ahead, take the couch

I know i don't wanna sit here

Next to nobody

Go ahead, take the fridge

I know i don't want you going hungry

Go ahead, take the cat

I know you're only gonna be

Coming back so

Go ahead, take it all,

I know you've been wanting to

Settle down

Has it always been, settling down?

One on the left says

To the one on the right

I could make

A very good wife for you

One on the right says

To the one on the left

Let's take this one

Step at a time

One on the right says

To the one on the left you know

I need you all the time

One on the right says

To the one on the left

I think i changed my mind

And my insides sing

A song for the sad ones

Who say they'll marry

They guess

If she's wearin a white dress

If he behaves his very best (x3)

Yes...

Go ahead, take the couch

I know i don't wanna sit here

Next to nobody

Go ahead, take the fridge

I know i don't want you going hungry

Go ahead, take the cat

I know you're only gonna be

Coming back so

Go ahead, take it all,

I know you've been wanting to

Settle down

Has it always been, settling down?

My elastic steel and spring,

They will tell you everything,

If you lay down, for a minute.

The mattress maker's making his,

Living by the minute.

By the minute.

The mattress maker's making his, living...

Baby bye bye.
