lyrics

Chased you down to a rust-belt town.
Lost my fight when I hit the ground.
I’m down, let’s run.
Instead of weathering in this southern sun.

Going to Rome in a couple of days.
Misuse my life in a number of ways.
You’ll stay. I’ll change.
Toss three coins that we’ll stay estranged.

Bed down early on a Friday night.
Lean over, honey, turn out the light.
You’re right. I’m gone.
But I just put it off and put you on.

I want a crush. I want a desire.
I want it to touch like I’m feeding the fire.
Deathlessness she’s going to be there.
An interminable toss of the hair.
A likeable but sordid affair.
Ordinary reason to hate myself.

Chased you down to a rust-belt town.
Lost my fight when I hit the ground.

I want a crush. I want a desire.
I want it to touch like I’m feeding the fire.
Deathlessness she’s going to be there.
An interminable toss of the hair.
A likeable but sordid affair.
Ordinary reason to hate myself.
