Lyrics

[00:22.48] Poison Oak, some boyhood bravery
[00:31.62] When our telephone was a tin can on a string
[00:42.24] And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
[00:51.45] You said you weren't afraid to die
[01:03.55] In polaroids, you were dressed in women's clothes
[01:13.90] Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer?
[01:24.66] Well, I don't think that I've ever loved you more ...
[01:34.79] Than when you turned away
[01:37.72] When you slammed the door
[01:40.14] When you stole the car
[01:42.82] And drove towards Mexico
[01:45.55] And you wrote bad checks
[01:48.08] Just to fill your arm
[01:50.79] I was young enough
[01:53.06] I still believed in war
[02:16.66] Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep
[02:26.92] And all their tearful words
[02:30.21] Would turn back into steam
[02:36.46] But me I'm a single cell
[02:39.84] On a serpent's tongue
[02:42.17] There is muddy field
[02:44.34] Where a garden was
[02:46.36] And I'm glad you got away
[02:49.04] But I'm still stuck out here
[02:51.36] My clothes are soaking wet
[02:53.73] From your brother's tears
[03:15.06] And I,never thought
[03:17.74] This life was possible
[03:25.15] You're the, Yellow bird
[03:27.88] That I've been waiting for
[03:34.53] The end of Paralysis
[03:37.50] I was a statuette
[03:39.88] Now I'm drunk as hell
[03:42.16] On a piano bench
[03:43.94] And when I press the keys
[03:46.75] It all gets reversed
[03:49.13] The sound of loneliness
[03:51.35] Makes me happier...
