TUNING: EADGBe
MI SI MI
LA MI
So this is fucking off by degrees
LA MI
And I suppose we turned out to be not-quite Hawaii
LA SI
But I can float back to sleep
SI
Cause at least you're lying to me
LA
Like music that dances from glowing apartments
SI
As shadows entwine into a creamy darkness
LA
Like jewlery hung down from rich silhouettes
MI SI
Portrays on the sidewalk where wetness reflects
LA
All the colours of evening and the onset of lights
SI
Like the promise of nothing, sweet nothing, tonight.
MI SI DO MI DO MI DO SI MI
So this is enacting ecstasy
And I suppose we turned out to be bathroom graffiti
But I can float back to sleep
Cause at least you're lying to me
Like shoveling hope into the infinite us
Til the world surges in yelling, "this is a drug bust"
Might turn up the heat and make us into one person
But then the temperature plunges and the predicament worsens
Til we're a fleck of new snow on the eyelash of a cow
And we melt away, melt away, melt away now
