[00:15.07] The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
[00:21.96] And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
[00:28.84] And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
[00:35.85] Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
[00:43.31] We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
[00:50.25] There's no relief for the bleeding heart
[00:54.03] 'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight
[01:01.93] And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die
[01:08.40] I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
[01:22.48] And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
[01:30.39] But I just keep on getting up again
[01:36.94] We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
[01:40.20] We'd never get anything done that way baby
[01:43.92] And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
[01:51.08] And I'm not my perspective
[01:54.47] Or the lies I'll tell you every time
[02:02.41] And Morgan says, maybe love won't let you down
[02:09.26] All of your failures are training grounds
[02:16.32] And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised she says
[02:21.84] As your solitude subsides
[02:28.40] And Mike I'll teach you how to swim
[02:31.46] If you turn the bad in me into good again
[03:00.09] And I say there's trouble
[03:03.35] When everything is fine
[03:06.98] The need to destroy things
[03:10.30] Creeps up on me every time
[03:13.92] Just as love's silhouette appears
[03:18.60] I close my eyes and disappear tonight
[03:25.18] And something's got to change
[03:28.36] 'Cause our love's the slowest moving train
[03:35.00]
