The Absence of God |
The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby |
And planning is for the poor, so let’s pretend that we’re rich |
And I’m not my body or how I choose to destroy it |
Folk singers sing songs for the workin', baby |
We’re just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers |
There’s no relief for the bleeding heart |
'Cause they’ll be losin' bodies tonight |
And Rob says, «You love, love, love |
And then you die…» |
I’ve watched him while sleeping and seen him crying |
With closed eyes |
And you’re not happy, but you’re funny |
And I’m tripping over my joy |
And I just keep on getting up again |
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted |
But we’d never get anything done that way, baby |
And we’d still be ruled by our dueling perspectives |
And I’m not my perspective, or the lies I’ll tell you every time |
And Morgan says, «Maybe love won’t let you down |
All of your failures are training grounds |
And just as your back’s turned, you’ll be surprised» |
She says, «as your solitude subsides» |
And Mike, I’ll teach you how to swim |
If you turn the bad in me into good again |
And I say, «There's trouble when everything is fine |
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time |
And just as love’s silhouette appears |
I close my eyes and disappear, tonight» |
And something’s gotta change |
'Cause our love’s the slowest moving train |
