| I read in the paper today | |
| It’s been a record year for rainfall | |
| And you were leaning ‘gainst the bathroom wall | |
| In your lonely dress | |
| Was your only dress | |
| Stand accusing across | |
| I got a temper set for tinder | |
| And you were shrugging it off like a feather | |
| Saying, “Oh | |
| Would you look at this weather?” | |
| What’s the use of all of this? | |
| It’s to remember you in the entire | |
| Cause I’m watching it slip away | |
| And in the annals of the empire | |
| Did it look this grey | |
| Before the fall? | |
| Before the fall | |
| So rake your thumbnail across | |
| The stretch of the patina | |
| Revealing a Proserpina | |
| In a low recline | |
| In a steep decline | |
| What’s the use of all of this? | |
| It’s to remember you in the entire | |
| Cause I’m watching it slip away | |
| And in the annals of the empire | |
| Did it look this grey | |
| Does it look so grey | |
| Does it always look so grey | |
| Before the fall? | |
| Before the fall |
