Standard (EADGBE)

So this is fucking off by degrees

And I suppose we turned out to be not-quite Hawaii

But I can float back to sleep

Cause at least you're lying to me

Like music that dances from glowing apartments

As shadows entwine into a creamy darkness

Like jewlery hung down from rich silhouettes

Portrays on the sidewalk where wetness reflects

All the colours of evening and the onset of lights

Like the promise of nothing, sweet nothing, tonight.

So this is enacting ecstasy

And I suppose we turned out to be bathroom graffiti

But I can float back to sleep

Cause at least you're lying to me

Like shoveling hope into the infinite us

Til the world surges in yelling, "this is a drug bust"

Might turn up the heat and make us into one person

But then the temperature plunges and the predicament worsens

Til we're a fleck of new snow on the eyelash of a cow

And we melt away, melt away, melt away now
