Paroles
Love came down like a cooling tower
Where an hourglass yesterday
Just dusted self-loathing, oh
And unreturned clothing, oh
Life stands still at an unmanned till
But the slow walk home in the evening chill
Has me feeling pretty virtuous until I see her
The flashing indicators of my favourite saboteur
And suddenly all my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist
You cross your wrists, some twisted prayer of supplication
Ten Hail Marys in the morning
She left town like a medicine show
In an oh-so-familiar scene
And I vowed forever solo, oh
Try to focus on the crocuses
'Til I'm through it and I'm zen
Then I'll do it again
I'm a diligent villager toeing the line
But watching for a sign
And when there's cheap red wine on the big blue moon
Come to me, my little ingénue
And suddenly all my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist
You cross your wrists, some twisted prayer of supplication
Ten Hail Marys in the morning
Love is a push and a shove sometimes
Suddenly all my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist
You cross your wrists, some twisted prayer of supplication
Ten Hail Marys in the morning
And all my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist
You cross your wrists, some twisted prayer of supplication
Ten Hail Marys in the morning
I am reborn
'Cause my girl loves yesterday
And lives for tomorrow
