lyrics

A fingerprint in wax
A smudge on the glass
We wash the floor with stubborn lungs
Hot rods racing naked tongues
"Thanks, that's enough"

I'm through fucking around
Let the wedding bells ring out
Let the beggars guard the Charles
Turn ordinary emerald
Turn this absinthe to gold

Oh we've fallen out of touch
My black eyed blonde teardrop
See how far Hamilton can stretch
See how long secrets keep in brick.

So take your children's names
And stitch them on the chimney
Persistence billows out of fear
How did I ever get here?

Wisdom bouncing down the drain
Don't consider, just replace
The best advice before this quake
Renew the lease, forget my face
And be better off anyway

Oh I've lost my current crutch
My black eyed blonde teardrop
Sew the blood into your hands
You'll never hear from me again.
