henrietta hung up on the bakery boy in blood red rapport the ribbon read you win again while a woman sat on the sunken steps oh mother I’m stronger you’ve heard that before beggar at the door I’m starving like a starling hansel’s thin hands held the planks of his coffin chorus quitters with one night and pale white lies alright you stopped by to get high with lace on your legs late night repent headache on a sunday lost the last hour on the barroom floor

Champs Elysees 03:52

don’t wanna follow a plan so hollow crossing an ocean on ambition only spirit so shallow out in the open can’t break what’s broken or count the months i’d owe ya at 43.2 north leaving love stillborn won’t have to suffer anymore i lied about everything keep my soul as a wedding ring pawn it for the real thing if i never make it to the champs elysees know i found my own way south of the border hear it’s warmer at least the sun could keep you company that is if you ever saw it i know i never did raced a revolved and i’m still running two breaths under the covers whisper to each other i hope they’re still lovers or did they make sorry goodbyes then leave the countryside fair-weather friends with wide eyes if i never make it to the champs elysees know i found my own way

oh lovergirl my midnight prisoner you love to leave you love to leave me our house is burning down you’ve got matchsticks in your mouth sympathy won’t ever help you sleep chorus dying flowers in a green beer bottle I’m screaming sorry in a hall of mirrors you’re free 18 and 8 don’t walk while we wait vacancy the lion’s company pink picture frame 5 coats of paint a birthday wish i just couldn’t give

fallen cloud on the street incense pouring from the hands of priests moon in red satin a wrapped murder weapon no one spoke on the car ride home silence my dying hope shadows walk twice around the block bodies sat and wonder where to go oh chorus i showed you i could ever be i only wanted you to feel happy again i guess i never finish anything i begin french horn muffled drone bellowed cold and close firecracker played all bright and burned away rotten plant behind the sink remembers what we used to be so steal every blanket tonight there’s no heat left in me

remember walking home in cowboy boots walking barefoot on the avenue the sound of your dress as we walked with our friends you were gone the minute i came back remember singing about a lonely girl singing trucker songs with your dad at the wheel words we never knew oh i wrote them with you sang chat aqua in my basement with a groom remember sleeping back on the window sleeping under covers that you stole mary’s lullaby we never say goodnight sinking a mattress by your side remember sneaking liquor in your purse drinking with your family in pittsburgh propped against the house carried across town i love you in a whisper remember making puppets out of bags learning to play banjo for the band same drink every night another barroom fight a heart that knows you’re always right remember playing horseshoes in the heat sitting on the rooftops with bare feet oak sang us a song the crickets played along lovely lady i shouldn’t have forgot remember going on and on forever remember being naive party crashers there’s an empty room on berkeley street i’m leaving in a week just promise you’ll remember me just promise you’ll remember me

It's Over and the Money Has Been Spent 04:13
lyrics

steamy greenhouse kissing on the couch swell of sound in the kitchen dylan glistened singing to himself cleanse our sinning and forgetting i think we thought enough desperate city m for modesty truth in your touch when everything was heavy you were light on the tv screen i’m almost ready a fool for believing in anything in love with a stranger dancing in her dreams please wait for me curses on doorsteps walked with our friends on sandy soaking streets magnolia white flashing siren begged never leave vines all around you shadows in full bloom rain rests on your skin darting driver slept in the back seat back where we began
