Let's Be Civilized

There's a groom and a bride in my mind

Sending postcards and memories

There's a wicked witch

Suicide, cigarettes and climbing trees

There's a mountain and a valley and a little girl

Who is something sweet

She's a fortune-teller Sally

I'm a drunken clown, who always falls asleep

I was faking death to wake up new

'Cause I was too afraid to stand in my shoes

I called you on the telephone

Were you home?

It didn't sound like you

Set me up another shot

Close the windows, stop the clock

Let's sing Grecian lullabies

I'm Dionysus in disguise

No one's gonna rescue you,

'Cause no one has a fucking clue

So let's be civilized

Let's say 'I love you'

There's a ghost in my seat kissing girls

And using up my stolen charm

He said he'll give it back, he was once an honest man

Before he bought the farm

I was seething with an impious rage

'Cause I was stuck inside a poemless page

I was conquered like the Byzantine on Halloween

And woke up in a cage

Set me up another shot

Close the windows, stop the clock

Let's sing Grecian lullabies

I'm Dionysus in disguise

No one's gonna rescue you,

'Cause no one has a fucking clue

So let's be civilized

Let's say 'I love you'

Set me up another shot

Close the windows, stop the clock

Let's sing Grecian lullabies

I'm Dionysus in disguise

No one's gonna rescue you,

'Cause no one has a fucking clue

So let's be civilized

Not so petrified

Let's be civilized

Let's say 'I love you'
