I'm very fond of our final daze Struck upon the very essence of giving up just to take I've got the strangest feeling, pressing arms onto your knees And cramming my body into the next A primal gesture, so familiar and strange We interleave like wires You hold me down with the ties Receive me through your eyes Various positions that keep me on my feet You know I never really envisioned a life for you and me Now cloaked in denim I can hardly imagine another way You fled fielding questions that were leading you astray I fed myself to the band Looking down at the ashtray And feeling it all again I'm very fond of you And the places we won't go Very full, all your lovers left to write fan fiction About the nights they'd soon forget I still can't forget the picture Of you in your Spanish dress The very handsome other owner paid no attention to me It was a grotty old day but we were singing with the leaves Watching old boats and thinking of the sea Spared me a second, you spared me a third You spared me your keys I'm very fond of you And the places we won't go I know you write it all down on crumpled up receipts And form folly, can't collect up any thoughts to speak or use Unless they're so And like the sparrows out sitting, positioned just beneath Selling time to watch makers for hours they'll never need I'd share with you my hours and give you all my days and weeks I'd still give you all my days / They whispered all about you when you left Various gasps in the wind, whistled wails through chimney pots And when the dawn crept slowly through the flocks The shepherd sighed because he knowed it to be frank and to be lost The associated dancers ran amok Sweat rolling from their shoulders to their wrists They move just like the lights, and like the shadows: Like the mist And remind me of the way you used to dress Well if you write it down It will get easier You will reanimate It well get easier Well if you galvanise Those spirits east of here They'll dance around at night They'll make it easier I became the harlot in a dream Spent centuries preparing for our scene I pulled myself together with old lace Painted on my smile and beat my face until it ached Now you find me greased up, washed out like an old jumper As Richard takes a step to offer you his chairs You politely decline him saying "roses are for horses" and "I don't think I've seen flesh like this in years" Mark performed a séance as we slept It revealed that all the love we'd shared had left I could hardly conceal my surprise But I'm the fool, you are the thief, you are the guide I will wait here Tongue-shaped and alive I will be there Every preceding time Did you ever feel so safe? Did you ever feel so safe? Did you every time feel so safe?
