How To Rent a Room

No I don't really want to die

I only want to die in your eyes

I'm still here below the chandelier

where they always used to read us our rights

I want to wander through the night

as a figure in the distance even to my own eye

Have you ever rented a room

have you ever even rented a room?

An anchor lets you see the river move

but now that your evil dreams came true

there on your face

a row of teeth he'll come to replace

I know you laughed when I left

but you really only hurt yourself

When you see your curtains move in the wind

you can bet I'm betting against you again

Cause I'm a man who has a wife who has a mother

who married one but she loved another

You're a tower without the bells

you're a negative wishing well

I should have checked the stable door

for the name of the sire and dam

you were always at the dogtrack

with your brother and all his friends

Chalk lines around my body

like the shoarline of a lake

You're laughter made me nervous

it made your body shake to hard

Now there's a lot of things that I'm gonna miss

like thunder down country and the way water drips

when you're running for the door in the rain

read the metro section...see my name

No I didn't really want to die

I only wanted to die in your eyes

Grant me one last wish

Life should mean a lot less than this
