lyrics

1: Fuck you He Said
2: Fuck You She Said
Both: Fuck You they said
As they threw their threads from their wedding bed

We’ll talk about this tomorrow

1: In the backwards of the world
In the wings unfurled twirl
In the upside down frown of the dark
On the tippy toe tin rooftops
In the vodka drama thriftshops
It’s there we’ll make our mark

It starts off like a pin prick
A trick of the light oil slick
Then grows to the size of your hand
Turns you outside in
Cigar burns and scar skin
Ripping bone and nail and gland

But your blood does not bleed red no more
2:It’s whiter than the sun burns, its bright with every hum
From within this gaping wound of ours
Both: A new us has begun. A new us has begun. A new us has begun
2: Can’t we just talk about this
Both: Tomorrow

Chorus:
Both: Oh light me a new york torch my boys
Oh light me a new york torch my boys
Oh watch the fire surprise surprise burn up and up into those skies
Oh light me a new york torch my boys

1: Tear me up and burn me up and rip me up and leave your
Hand on the wall as you go
Both: Blood’s pouring like martini
Graffiti sweet bikini
Is that what you think of me now no no no

1: Are you god or devil, ghost dishevelled
Childhood friend or drunken revel
I cannot stop I’m bleeding out for you
You angel heart you monster oh
Some godforsaken prospero
Your feathers and your paws
Your hell for leather applause
You dance on tables, endless labels
Are you cain cos i’m not abel
Your bastard lasting nightbus asking
What’s the everlasting fable

Both: I cannot find the words to keep you
I cannot find the words to keep you

2: But your blood does not bleed red no more
1: It’s brighter than the sun burns, its whiter with every hum
Both: From within this gaping wound of ours
A new us has begun a new us has begun a new us has begun
1: Can’t we just talk about this
Both: Tomorrow

Chorus
