lyrics

4am and waiting
on a foreign floorboard
curled cradle swaying
wasting away
crooked evening news
black and white on blankets
gypsy queen had a slight of hand
curse of diversion
from the love i left for dead
hive buzzes
on and off
off and on again

spun in drunken dance steps
creeping around
the train wreck
nothing could ever live in here
setting up forever
do you think we’ll ever get there
to the light
at the bottom of the bottle

we’re april fools
april fools

walked a silent circle
clocks predicted weather
statues bowed their heads
i turn away
bought you a promise
captured in stained glass
lost it in absinthe on the way
the fog descended
i was alone on the floor
spinning round and round
some more
