We drink ourselves to sleep
The company we keep intoxicates us beyond belief
We lay backwards in bed and pray
for a peace to chase our revelry at least
A world of words unfurls and every one's such work
and every night's a hollow light
We lie half the time
We lie half the time
The ghosts of Cuba Road relocate to my place
apartment south of grace
they keep the pace of cars and waltz around the windows
and fall in front of all these bars
and i'm just feeling spent
what with all the rent and (not to mention) exorcism
We lie half the time
We lie half the time
Who let our spirit come down?
Calm down
Who let my spirit come down?
Calm down
Who let our spirit come down?
Calm down
Calm down
So where's the boy in me who hates the man I am?
that cares if no one calls
And where's the harmony that rattles in the teeth?
that clicks off one, two, three
