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.

make me last

make me last

through our love

make me last

new masquerade

to be absorbed

I had to act before

now I talk

and make me last

make me last

through our love

make me last

bring on the microphones

hidden under stones

record my sobs

in baritones

and make me last

make me last

through our love

make me last

in the new west

the orange groves

grow like a plague

wherever you go

I told the heads

we'll show the world

we'll film ourselves in history and chrome

and I said that

just not sure

make me last

through our love

box office law

simple and grand

an endless stream

one can draw

the flicker of light

piano keys

a silent screen, a silent star

make me last

make me last

through our love

make me last

in the new west

the orange groves

grow like a plague

wherever you go

I told the heads

we'll show the world

we'll film ourselves in history and chrome

and I said that, just not sure

what's to be done

it's thunder town they'll do

what they can to hold you down (x 4)
