The palace days And nick at night No need to stay I want The horizon line Pour kerosene Into cups A toast for free My ghost Didn't mean too much Like a perfect third picture Keep me in frame I'll be your lover today 'Til the edges grow crispy Consumed in the flame Oh it's the only way Am I in the way As I go to town But I had to say My love By the wayside Maybe in time Life will be friends And apple pie And the cigarette smoke In the morning light My love And when I'm no longer around I'll think about you And how you'd talk me down Just sharing sad thoughts In the rich part of town My love My love My love Oh you I know I keep you in the nights just to break you up But I can't stay here like you need And I fall like stone I'm not into trying to please But it's all I know The palace days And nick at night No need to stay I want The horizon line Come away By the wayside now Come away When the waves die down The palace days The palace days The palace days
