Start up the car
Bury your memories Call on your lovers Speaking slow and heavy Call up your boyfriends from out by the ocean While I get my last rites Read by a thief While I get my last rites Read by a thief And you look so holy standing in the water From all my pictures I worshiped before you My baby just ain't No good My baby just she ain't No good Yeah |

I guess you need a little sugar
Cause you always wander around How would you like a little fancy Whenever you feel a little inside out I heard you need a vacation Said I bored you right to tears I heard my love was a season That you wore for the pretty girls You said no no no no no no no no That's not the way it goes You said no no no no no no no no That's not the way it goes But it is don't lie I've seen that curl up around your smile And it is don't lie Who do you think that you're kidding this time Only I know I know you get lonely at night I know I know you get lonely sometimes I know I know you get lonely at night Nobody knows you like I do I guess you need a little sugar Cause you never wait around I heard you like it to shiver It's like right up your spine I saw you walking with him Down the steps that I walked you in I got hurried for midnight With slippers of glass and perfect fits You said no no no no no no no no That's not the way it goes You said no no no no no no no no That's not the way it goes But it is don't lie I've seen that curl up around your smile And it is don't lie Who do you think that you're kidding this time Only I know I know you get lonely at night I know I know you get lonely sometimes I know I know you get lonely at night Nobody knows you like I do Nobody else waits on you When your hands shake like the breeze And your mind is a permanent dream Left your head long before you broke through my door Baby baby but it is don't lie I've seen that curl up around your smile It is don't lie Who do you think is gonna be laughing this time It is don't lie I've seen that curl up around your smile It is don't lie Who do you think that you're kidding this time |

Every breath of this
house creaking I'm familiar with the cold and the windows and the doors And the sound of my heart beating Beating in and out of time And it's such a shame I heard the wind say this morning Be still my heart I age by years at the mention of your name What a pity this season You remember me my lover I don't recognize myself I'm not the man you love Behold the hurricane Behold the hurricane I walk around these empty rooms We once moved like the morning Silhouettes they haunt this house like a memory haunts me now as if it were a dream As if it were a dream It's such a shame I heard the wind say this morning Be still my heart I age by years at the mention of your name What a pity this season You remember me my lover I don't recognize myself I'm not the man you love Behold the hurricane Behold the hurricane I heard the moon has visions of her nightly I heard the mighty rivers cry out her name And I saw the heavens and the earth Yes I saw the heavens and the earth cry over you It's such a shame I heard the wind say this morning Be still my heart I age by years at the mention of your name What a pity this season You remember me my lover I don't recognize myself I'm not the man you love Behold the hurricane Behold the hurricane At the door the leaves had fallen Suddenly I realized that you were gone Suddenly I realized that you were gone Behold the hurricane |

I guess the moon
it had it out for us And the night and the stars the same Everything she touched turned to stone or died eventually Or was never seen the same again Yeah and this heart I had You never sympathize And while you held my hand I think I witnessed a crime While she drove we sat in silence All I could do was try to breathe Her and I we never talked too much or licked our wounds Just lived between the hours of sleep And in this dream I had My screams were baby's breath I watched her steal the air Right from the atmosphere Oh this heart I had You never paid no mind And on the long drive home I think I witnessed a crime And she said I just went crazy from the heat And I just lit a little fire under your feet And that's not so bad see people do it all the time It's just a little bit of blood in your eyes boy stop all your crying And all my debonair Died in her arms one night You go so quietly Once you've seen the end Oh this heart I had You never paid no mind And on the drive home I think I witnessed a crime |

I've been known to wear a fine
black suit and a murder of a tie I've got miles on my shoes that your brothers can't buy I've got more than your man more than even what he wants I carry each and every ghost of my lovers at once And they say Sugar baby we've got everything you need And they say Sugar baby we've got something to see And they say Sugar baby we've got everything you need And even what you want So go tell everybody that you drove your poor lover crazy And take a good look at just what the night did There ain't nothing left of your dearly departed And I just fell to pieces on the night that you said you were leaving You can't come back to the heart that you left So go tell everybody that your man is dead And there's always just these three siren spirits always following me They just appeared one night in the passenger seat They tell me all about your sins salivate from their tongues And they kiss from their lips but their fingers is so cold to the touch Sugar baby we've got everything you need Sugar baby we've got something to see Sugar baby we've got everything you need And even what you want So go tell everybody that you drove your poor lover crazy And take a good look at just what the night did There ain't nothing left of your dearly departed And I just fell to pieces on the night that you said you were leaving You can't come back to the heart that you left So go tell everybody that your man is dead I was a man of great sympathy when I loved you baby But tonight all my sympathy is gone I was a man of great sympathy when I loved you baby But tonight all my sympathy is gone I was a man of great sympathy when I loved you baby But tonight all my sympathy is gone I was a man of great sympathy when I loved you my baby But tonight all my sympathy oh she's gone I was a man of great sympathy when I did love you my baby But tonight all my sympathy is gone |

I drive this car through the
city every night There's a quiet I never heard before And lonely my sister could not describe All the good things gone wrong And there was blood on my teeth From the long winter here Bones broke in half A stain on my shirt From a couple hours out with the boys And all good things come to an end And all memory has left my bones If I drove straight off this bridge Only God and my baby would know I'm sure she'd be laughing conjuring spring With some fella who just said the right thing And there'd be blood on my teeth From the long winter here Bones broke in half A stain on my shirt From a couple hours out with the boys And all good things come to an end See all I can do is think about you And miss all your kisses like the spring But if I had a sign That one day you'd be mine again oh no If I could hold you right then As the chill in this season sputtered and spit and died with Blood on my teeth From just what they did here Snow tumbling down on the ground And me stumbling out of my heart Finding cherry blossoms on the hood of my car |

Pour yourself a drink
I'll sing you a song Don't worry about the money honey I got a tab a mile long Bathe me up in light Call me when you drown I can wait all night I've spent my whole life Less up than my downs I know a secret everybody tell Who goes to heaven who goes to hell And I know one thing sure is true I never kept a secret I got a crush on you You're everybody's dream Out on the schoolboy yard They tumble like an injury Just about you all night long All night long And there was a fire In your breast and in my brain Your fingers on my fingertips Making lines in the windowpane I know a secret everybody tell Who goes to heaven who goes to hell And I know one thing sure is true I never kept a secret I got a crush on you If you should go there before I do God's gonna trouble the water Tell all my friends that I'm coming too God's gonna trouble the water Sometimes I'm up lord and sometimes I'm down God's gonna trouble the water Sometimes I'm almost level with the ground God's gonna trouble the water If you should go there before I do God's gonna trouble the water Tell all my friends that I'm coming too And God's gonna trouble the water Sometimes I'm up lord and sometimes I'm down God's gonna trouble the water And sometimes I'm almost level with the ground God's gonna trouble the water |

My first love was an arsonist
Black eyes deep set and avarice Red lips built like a tomb You'll never get out of this some day I'll see to this And moonlight I found would bow To her slender hand stretched out Fingers inside your heart and your mind You'll never get out of this some day I'll see to this And I'll tell you when it's over I'll tell you when you can leave I'll tell you when you cried long enough Til your blood fills my cup And my footsteps they hung in your hallways enough For you to be truly haunted baby by me My first love was a murderer Before I ever got to her Tongue so sharp and serpentine Waltz to remember her I'll call you later And I heard a curse being born Forming each finger and forming each thorn Til I became like a stone Things never got better but I'll call you later And practicing lies to drip like red wine I'll tell you when it's over I'll tell you when you can leave I'll tell you when you cried long enough Til your blood fills my cup My footsteps they hung in your hallways enough For you to be truly haunted And I'll tell you when it's over I'll tell you when you can leave I'll tell you when you cried long enough Til your blood fills my cup My footsteps they hung in your hallways enough For you to be truly haunted When your blood starts counting losses When your blood counts its losses When your blood starts counting losses When your blood counts its losses When your blood starts counting losses Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave Sirens they come sirens they leave |

I met you in the upper room
Of a house where I slept with the angels From hell and from heaven Some for haunting some for guarding Each to his own purpose over my trembling skin And I kept my secrets far from your condition And in the explosions they both were just powders In faded jean jackets to look just like our daddies Did you say your lovers were liars All my lovers were liars too Did you say you were afraid of dying I ain't lived a single day without you Do you wanna come over I was just about to miss you Did you say you were lonely I was just about to call you You rang on a Wednesday night I was buried in the churchyard In the engines of desire in the come down daylight I believe my trouble and your trouble shook hands Did you say your lovers were liars All my lovers were liars too Did you say you were afraid of dying I ain't lived a single day without you Do you wanna come over I was just about to call you Did you say you were lonely I was just about to miss you Did you say your lovers were liars All my lovers were liars too Did you say you were afraid of dying Baby I ain't lived a single day without you Did you wanna come over I was just about to miss you Did you say you was lonely I was right about to call you Do you believe there's a heaven Do you think we're invited You've done some bad things And I was a killer Did you wanna come over I was just about to miss you Did you say you were lonely I was just about to call you |
