Lyrics '95: A Serious Mistake - The Magnetic Fields

'95: A Serious Mistake

Although we know that someone’s heart will break
Hey Jake, let’s make a serious mistake
And while we smile, look forward to heartache
Let’s undertake a serious mistake
Which one of us will it be
To end this tale of misery?
When will this comedy turn sour?
A year, a month, a week, an hour?
All we can be sure of is it will
All good things come to bad ends
But still
Although we know that someone’s heart will break
Hey Jake, let’s make a serious mistake
And while we smile, look forward to heartache
Let’s undertake a serious mistake
Although we know that someone’s heart will break
Hey Jake, let’s make a serious mistake
And while we smile, look forward to heartache
Let’s undertake a serious mistake
