Greasy jungle, metropolis noir
Easy tangles the easiest so far
I drove down your road to hazeldean where i tasted
Your funeral home's sandwiches and coffee
I saw your hands melt into one another
I saw you grieve and grow, care a lot about one another
I stood at your sink and i felt your warm water
I washed your dishes and i looked out your kitchen window
Where i saw a soulful gymnast melt in the air and shudder
Just above the snow, making moves that just weren't there
Velvet callow with wet hands, i turned out the lights
And breathing shallow, hesitated then went upstairs where i
Picked up your housecoat, dried my hands and touched your hair
And just then you awoke, you could never really barely care
Greasy jungle, metropolis noir
