lyrics

here: the trees, the stars, and my house keys
stay with me tonight, mmm my boy,
stay, the light out, tonight
stay, don't close your eyes this night

I was only sleeping in dusty freight cars
and I, I was only dreaming of movie stars
you never went to sleep last night
I turned around, I woke up rheumatic last night
my hands on your back
the air was alive, my Mary was bright

even the girls with golden eyes
they all know how to tell a thousand lies
can't you learn not to leave, the moon is
getting smaller, who taught you how to leave?
my boy in submission,
what kind of shadows do you leave?

I am a girl in black and berets
another ex-patriot who knows her cliches
and I'm sure, I'm sure
I've always been sleeping
sleeping, oh sleeping for you
the dawn's already breaking
you were the veil on my eyes, dreaming awaking
dizzy and quilted with lies
the silver on my lips washed off
on you last night

here: your teeth, they're all like little graves
swallowed whole by the night
the moon all around you, rock me hard
through the night, and the taste of your skin
holds me holding you tight
