lyrics

clever
no, wait
more like brilliant
a mind like cut crystal
that glitters and blinds
every surface reflecting
an impatience and skilllessness
a true lack of ambition
disorder and carelessness

if I tried to run how far would I get
somehow I know you're not through with me yet
you were always a headache and always a
bore

and heat
blood on the bed sheets
a mouth like a gavel
that bitters and binds us
to smiles and kindness
those hallmarks of lust
the extended hand
that I've learned to trust

and if I tried to run how far would I get
something inside of me is not done with you yet
you were always a headache and always a bore
thanks for the last and greatest betrayal
of the last and greatest of human dreams
I've got your number and you've got my number
joined forever never to be torn asunder
it would take a saint not to be angry
you'd have to be heartless not to feel betrayed
