Stutter-step to the beat of a disparaged lover Dumb and pulsing we've become The bedroom door is an old black lung; It's arrhythmic Uninviting and pliable With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us Bore into our heads and found thoughtlessness Never minded the faithless courage of shame or the bravery of oblivion When I'm on her mind I'm never coming back If two timing's what it takes Then we'll both know One take Is all we need We're not equipped to stay unloved But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright Come on baby and give me the creeps, yea Either you or I or both must go Either you or I or both must go When I'm on her mind I'm never coming back If two timing's what it takes Then we'll both know one take Is all we need We're not equipped to stay unloved But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright There's no difference between being holy and alone That's why I'm eagerly fleeing the scene Lead footed Baby return the favor and leave somebody you love If they come back they're drunk and they're lonely We all get lonely God forbid we indulge when at sea Just the tempest, the temptress and me Naturally bored thriller Nobody knows the trouble I've been Or the exacting improvement of sin I'm handing myself over I'm turning myself in War has no glory like a woman ignored So here's to the empires polluted with dead And the truckers' wives who erected them I know the stripper's real name Stop me if I'm wrong
