The landlord's a cut throat We've gotta calm down before he wakes And I'm trying to breathe right I'm closing my eyes in hope she disappears
She's crying an ocean about me I tell her: "Lock it up."
And that's when the dish breaks I swear to god it was the loudest bang She's holding a pistol Goddamn, I bet she's never felt so...
She's shaking like a nine millimeter I tell her: "Rat-tat-tat"
Now I'm leaving for the rest of my life tonight And I kissed her neck and I hugged her tight No need to jump through the window You know I'm a sucker for crescendos
And I begged her to tell me that she loved me the same She shook her head and said she'll never love again I made a dash to the window Fuck it, I'm gonna kill the crescendo
So it goes. So it goes. In heaven so it goes.
Everybody knows How far the rabbit goes A clone of copied xerox From the hanger in his throat I gathered up my evidence I threw on my winter coat A black cat crossed my path And then I saw his ghost
"Stand still." Can't you "Stand still." "I can't beat your case of bad blues unless you tell me you love her still."
And I could see it meant more to him than anything had before He shook his head in horror and said "Now I love her more."
And as he hit the window he stopped to say "goodbye" She was running towards him with the devil in her eyes
He fell Face first Ten floors With her On top of him beautifully tumbling - dancing almost He laughed She winked The flag burns Ship sinks Both of them smashing and breaking so brilliantly

He was always saying: "If it's broke it's not worth saving," Regretfully the irony Was never more so fitting He was always cheating And she as always dreaming Of him coming home one day And tell her that he's leaving
"Stand still." Can't you "Stand still." You can't avoid the window unless you leave the window sill.
My blood fills with ice, I thought "Damn how it's nice to feel Sober and bright," I thought "Goddamn, it's nice!" My dreams filled with ice, I thought "Damn, how it's bright I never treated her nice I should've killed myself twice."
Bad dreams It was like a bad dream woah
The story of my life: "Climbing up stairs felt like: Gripping the ledge Clearing my head She pushed me Over the edge."
(Get your hands off of my hands lover) Bad dreams, it was like a bad dream woah
