lyrics

In a classic move of the heart,
scream and then fall apart.
In a novelty of the brain,
drink it into marmalade.

We're being circled by wolves in the night
or dollar bills or headlights.
Well, I'd run if you can.
God, I try.
Just don't let it blind your eyes.

All the twisted games that we play,
just trying to live another day.
Were distilled in your red beating heart
that I had just ripped apart.

But I won't let you die.
I'll hook you up into every machine I find.
This little rabbit of mine.

The wisdom you gave me I still carry
as a sacred boon.
Every theoretical dialectic has no choice
but to swoon.
It was hard to be ready for your babies
on the concrete moving,
but a mother's blood spilled for nothing
has a way of soothing.

Come back for me.
