Starry Night

lying on my back i feel you breathing

sucking down the ghosts into your sleep

there's something in your spine that makes me nervous

and the black that swells between us grows more deep

i cut the world in chords making melodies from words and i'm confused again

take all this abuse because i ain't got much to lose

it's a starry starry night out here on hope street

but hope gives way to hunger when you're poor

and with pockets full of promises and poems

i know that you ain't worth much anymore

spoke in broken time crooked rythyms twisted rhymes and i'm confused again

paint my world in blue because i've never liked to lose

i don't think i want to spend another night with you

i don't think i want to spend another day feeling the way you leave me to

standing in the half light of the morning

i watch the shadows lace across my shoes

there's something in your voice that makes me nervous

if i can tell we're lying why can't you?

the song that's in my head is playing backwards in this bed and i'm confused again

seems like i have to choose it feels like either way i lose
