lyrics

Lyrics by Andrew Krolikowski

Her eyes are blue like stillborn skies
they might just miscarry my mind
Like cloud-talkers keep truth confined
in two dimensions all the time
But we are not so flat, my love,
lines plateau when hearts just go.
Poised and ready to attack,
I'll be strapped
when the son of a bitch comes back.

I'm a paleontologist,
I've got a bone to pick with history.
Like all the fossilized, canonized saints
make commonplace of misery.
But we are not so flat, my love,
lines plateau when hearts just go.
Poised and ready to attack,
I'll be strapped
when the son of a bitch comes back.

...just take it all.
just keep it all, why don't you?
I can't take it with me anyway.
it's ok.

I came to town to kill you,
and I still intend to.
