Years So Much

The landlord's a cut throat

We've gotta calm down before he wakes

And I'm trying to breathe right

I'm closing my eyes in hope she disappears

She's crying an ocean about me

I tell her:

"Lock it up."

And that's when the dish breaks

I swear to god it was the loudest bang

She's holding a pistol

Goddamn, I bet she's never felt so...

She's shaking like a nine millimeter

I tell her:

"Rat-tat-tat"

Now I'm leaving for the rest of my life tonight

And I kissed her neck and I hugged her tight

No need to jump through the window

You know I'm a sucker for crescendos

And I begged her to tell me that she loved me the same

She shook her head and said she'll never love again

I made a dash to the window

f**k it, I'm gonna kill the crescendo

So it goes.

So it goes.

In heaven so it goes.

Everybody knows

How far the rabbit goes

A clone of copied xerox

From the hanger in his throat

I gathered up my evidence

I threw on my winter coat

A black cat crossed my path

And then I saw his ghost

"Stand still."

Can't you

"Stand still."

"I can't beat your case of bad blues unless you tell me you love her still."

And I could see it meant more to him than anything had before

He shook his head in horror and said "Now I love her more."

And as he hit the window he stopped to say "goodbye"

She was running towards him with the devil in her eyes

He fell

Face first

Ten floors

With her

On top of him beautifully tumbling - dancing almost

He laughed

She winked

The flag burns

Ship sinks

Both of them smashing and breaking so brilliantly

(sax solo)

He was always saying:

"If it's broke it's not worth saving,"

Regretfully the irony

Was never more so fitting

He was always cheating

And she as always dreaming

Of him coming home one day

And tell her that he's leaving

"Stand still."

Can't you

"Stand still."

You can't avoid the window unless you leave the window sill.

My blood fills with ice, I thought

"Damn how it's nice to feel

Sober and bright,"

I thought

"Goddamn, it's nice!"

My dreams filled with ice, I thought

"Damn, how it's bright

I never treated her nice

I should've killed myself twice."

Bad dreams

It was like a bad dream woah

The story of my life:

"Climbing up stairs felt like:

Gripping the ledge

Clearing my head

She pushed me

Over the edge."

(Get your hands off of my hands lover)

Bad dreams, it was like a bad dream woah
