Verse 1

It's getting cold

Thought it was too soon to

tell but it was terribly old

and as the heartbeat

slows to a heartless crawl

The lights went out The lights

went out and darkness filled the

house on tiring night

under a Long Is land sky

Chorus 1

I thought I'd known the consequence

but sweetness can you believe

this? This mess we've made of it

This mess we've made of it

In years to come it might

make sense but sweetness

did you believe this?

Just what's become of it?

What's become of it?

Verse 2

If you hear this and

you think you're ready

then meet me in Montauk where

we'll write out in the sand

Here lies the destiny of 2

hurt souls afraid to be cured a gain

That could be our e pitaph

Chorus 2

I thought I'd known the consequence

but sweetness can you believe

this? This mess we've made of it

This mess we've made of it

In years to come it might

make sense but sweetness

did you believe this?

Just what's become of it?

What's become of it?

what's become of it?

What's become of it? I know

Chorus 4

I thought I'd known the consequence

but sweetness can you believe

this? This mess we've made of it

This mess we've made of it

In years to come it might

make sense but sweetness

did you forsee this?

Just what's become of it?
