lyrics

I hope that we can laugh about this someday soon
When laughing is the only thing left to do

We both know all the best told stories
Never tangled with truth
Like a well-read alligator poster in your room
I look up at all the posters in your room

When I was just a stranger
I was free to choose
Hit that city so hard in the guts
That it left a bruise

And there you sit
So artlessly abstracted
Idealized image of discontent
But I'm sure I heard you laughing
What a wonderful noise of shattering glass
But the wolves outside my door don't make a sound

Let's go downtown and watch the kids drinking blood
