Lyrics

[00:04.60] （"So long, everything" he shouted
[00:09.42] Then he ran next door to
[00:12.92] Margot's house"I'm moving," he said, "where?" asked
[00:17.95] Margot"Two weeks away, two weeks away," he said
[00:27.58] M-Mitchell"Where is that?" asked
[00:32.18] Margot"It's everywhere, I will be after I walk for two weeks," said
[00:41.83] Mitchell"I have lived in the same place for a long timeIt is time for me to go some place else, else""No," said
[00:54.76] Margot, "You have only lived next door for fifteen years""Sixteen," said
[01:03.23] Mitchell"Fifteen, six, what's the difference," said
[01:10.69] Margot"I want you to stay next door forever""I can't," said
[01:19.7] Mitchell"I do not want to go wake up in the same old bedroom
[01:26.78] And eat breakfast in the some old kitchen
[01:29.81] Every room in my house is the some old room
[01:35.48] 'Cause I have been there too long"）
[01:39.21]
[01:39.69] You turn on a spindle
[01:46.51] You're so much looser now but you're not explaining
[01:53.24] How you gained such new repose
[02:06.19] I touch the clasp of your locket with its picture held
[02:16.17] Some secret you wouldn't tell but let it choke your neck
[02:31.57] So we imagine a darkness where all shapes divide
[02:40.51] Solids changing into light with a burst of heat so bright
[02:56.6] Well fine don't you do what I want you to
[03:10.58] Yeah don't degrade yourself the way that I do
[03:22.73] Cause you don't depend upon all the shit that
[03:30.87] I use to make my moods improve
[04:16.60] Near a sea of pianos there were waves of chords
[04:27.4] That crashed against the shore in one huge and useless roar
[04:42.36] And there were girls bringing water
[04:48.54] Like a dream they came to cure the fever of my brain
[04:55.31] And soothe my burning throat
[05:07.39] And they made me a necklace hanging beads of sweat on a string of my regrets
[05:20.22] And placed it round my neck
[05:32.12] And they were singing don't you do what you've wanted to
[05:44.99] Yeah don't destroy yourself like those cowards do
[05:57.18] Maybe the sun keeps coming up cause it's gotten used to you
[06:07.92] And your constant need for proof
[06:17.57]
