lyrics

I can’t carry on.
So I just pick up the phone and I think about calling you.

I can’t take the pain.
Pour myself another champagne.
It doesn’t help.
I think about you.

The priest said I had more time.
The East Village is cold at night.

I fade like a ghost and nobody knows about all the grief inside me.
A moment of truth.
I can see through the roof.
Oh no.

All that we’ve said swims around inside of my head.
Then the wave just swallows me whole.

The Tylenol (and Benadryl) drip into my soul and make me ill.
The priest was a mole?

He said that I had more time.
The East Village is cold at night.

I fade like a ghost and nobody knows about all the grief inside me.
A moment of truth.
I can see through the roof.
Oh no.

I see everything that we’ve ever done.
The letters we wrote.
The loyalty oaths on Venice Beach.
A box of Nat Sherman’s by the side of your bed.
The Fugazi gig.
The first time we kissed.
The meetings for Alice Underground.
The fact that together we could conquer it all.

I fade like a ghost and nobody knows about all the grief inside me.
A moment of truth.
I can see through the roof.
Oh no.
Oh no.
