I took your door bell and rang up the city I rolled your fags. And it made me feel pretty One gun held against my shoe And the other one pointing at you
You were all so very lovely, My hands were in the air Fell in love right in the beginning I swear, I swear, I swear
Good god. As if they were empty I filled up my pockets, until I had plenty Plenty of things belonging to you Your schools, your fools, your blues
Refrain: You were all so very lovely, My hands were in the air Fell in love right in the beginning I swear, I swear, I swear
I collected the ghosts that would sleep in your hair and I stole all the words they hung into the air And with them I shaped a pen and a chair, in which I sit, sing and scribble. I composed a dog barking in vain, and with it the silence behind its complaints And with that the highways that take things away, and then discovered that there are no endings And now that I am so completely of you, I do not understand what I do
Dear all, I am full of your blood, Full of your absence, Full of your love, Full of your words That will tear me apart, Apart from everything
In mid-air blinding the shades The sun appears and I get carried away That was it my truthful account of what it’s about
