lyrics

At last I've got this great idea that's gonna bring her back
Yeah got a ton of great ideas, I haven't slept all year
My hairs growing down to my shoulders, there's icicles in my beard
I got these tired sunken eyes... I'm getting pretty thin

I stole for you some company
Now this whole house smells of mint
I bathe my palms in lukewarm milk to make my handshakes firmer
Now all the old folks seem to say is "this town crept away"
The kids all say I'm half awake
I haven't slept all year


The most serious charge, which can be brought against New England is not puritanism but February


I'm starting to keep weird hours
I listen for the earthquakes
All I can smell is honey and smoke
When I think about you sleeping
I'm spinning that same old record
I'm listening hard for the mistakes
I write you a story about love
I waste too much paper

I don't hear the sadness coming in, this town is full of it
I sign my name like a parade
I'm taller than Jesus
They found you face down blue in the snow
I think I saw you breathing?
Your mouth was just full of bees
That sang like a terrible war


The most serious charge, which can be brought against New England is not puritanism but February


I still feel cold
Every time that bitch makes me sick up ice cubes my feet (a town) gets covered in snow

These bees keep swimming in my tea cups... For you I'd drink anything, anything, anything
I've got this garden growing in my gut and I've got flowers up my sleeves
Houdini and Carter ain't got shit on me, I can catch bullets just like a president
This story I wrote you turned into a war... Everything, everything, everything burns

There's drowned bees floating in my tea cups, for you they sting every little part of me
I've got this garden growing in my guts and I've got flowers up my sleeves
Houdini that charmer ain't got shit on me
'Cause my teeth are crooked just like a president
This story I wrote you turns into a war
This story I wrote you turns into a war...
