My  love has gone  away
Packed  up her bags and then boarded  that plane
And  I guess that the time I figured  you’d wait
 Teary face,  leaky breath,  a bitter taste
Tripped  out for 600  years
Who  would have thought I’d make  it last year?
In  a way it makes sense that I died  and reappeared
 As that fly  you’ve been swatting  for years

Calm  down and make  him a drink
Pretty  small town and the gossip  repeats
 She took  off her clothes and sat  on the bed next to me
My  heart is pumping  my blood,
your  hearts not beating  at all
 In a way  it makes sense that it isn’t,  it just never was
Right  now, a sinful  exchange
Once  done, unspeakable  shame
 And I  should’ve known where I  took the blame
 The sweat  and the shame  fireless flame
Please  god don’t take  him too
Take  me, a replicant  fool
 Lost a gear  and now I  hardly move
 He’s a kid,  I’m a fool
Please  son, where  is your faith?
Take  off your bushels set fire  to your pain
 You will heal  like a cut, let it scar  let it scab, let it stain
 In a while  I promise  you’ll see
 You’re alive,  not the blemish or burns  that you keep on your feet
I  am a towel that is soaked  to the core,
heavier  now than it’s gotten  before
 And something  inside of me needs  more and more,
 sooner than  later never  no more
 Sooner than  later, never  no more
