more booze than blood in my veins inches into miles I’m going insane my head is empty, I’m acutely aware of the lead-lined skull hiding under my hair I’ve never been afraid of anything least of all a little death I hope I paint your portrait as I draw my last breath as I draw my last breath you’re trespassing on my land as I plot two points on a graph blood pumping like the sand in an endless hourglass I’ve never been afraid of anything least of all a little death I hope I paint your portrait as I draw my last breath as I draw my last breath I’ve never been a betting man I’m a little too good at math the dice shake in my hands cutting the gap between us in half I’ve never been afraid of anything least of all a little death I hope I paint your portrait as I draw my last breath I hope I sing your song as I draw my last breath

never met a hellhound I couldn’t tame until I saw the devil in your smile couldn’t stand to stay in paradise until I found a state of denial we must have been double-crossed by the stars a dozen times the lines on our palms spelling out poetry in convoluted lines they say distance makes the heart grow fonder but the gulf between us was too big to fill the lines that were meant to connect us must have got lost in the mail lost in the mail our lives spiraled together like highway four leaf clovers dotting the plains in the same pattern over and over and over and even though those strip malls look the same on both coasts the plumes of smog rising heavenward remind me more and more of ghosts they say distance makes the heart grow fonder but the gulf between us was too big to fill the lines that were meant to connect us must have got lost in the mail lost in the mail

she had communist lipstick and bourgeois shoes eyelashes could give a rich man the blues her mom’s credit card tucked into her sock pouting and drinking a lemon drop a twist of her hips told me she found the vein in my neck I always knew she’d be my sweet little death but I like the story better than the teller so I walked right up and asked what she was selling melody monday, melody monday you’re my own greek tragedy melody monday, melody monday such a sweet first act to read melody monday, melody monday I was twisted I was wrecked melody monday, melody monday suddenly sad songs don’t make sense anymore the way she said my name had me gasping for air it was a suffocating space age love affair it wasn’t long ’til the fire went out she stole my records and skipped town but she left her leather jacket at my house there’s a letter in the pocket, I don’t know what it’s about remember one thing and you’ll go far never trust anyone who can spin a yarn melody monday, melody monday you’re my own greek tragedy melody monday, melody monday such a sweet first act to read melody monday, melody monday I was twisted I was wrecked melody monday, melody monday suddenly sad songs don’t make sense anymore melody monday, melody monday you’re my own greek tragedy melody monday, melody monday such a sweet first act to read melody monday, melody monday McCartney’s on the radio melody monday, melody monday suddenly sad songs don’t make sense anymore

living clean and dry makes it easy to seem well-spoken if you dream easy dreams your heart never, ever gets broken but when you wear your heart on your sleeve it’s an easy target when you fall in love too easily you’re always broken-hearted it’s shame there’s no in-between either you’re the match or the gasoline when this world won’t give you what you need you can either let it be or let it bleed going out and dancing is a great way to seem fun if you try hard enough you never gotta see the sun but when you finally wake up to that late afternoon light you either sink into darkness or let your soul ignite it’s shame there’s no in-between either you’re the match or the gasoline when this world won’t give you what you need you can either let it be or let it bleed

I never knew the truth of the grey matter until you walked in the door clocks started melting the trains ran on time, order was restored celebrate in the streets while a ticker tape parade plays on the news lately all my dreams carry a tinge of blue I awake and see smoke curl around me and you we’re going up in flames burning the past away it’s the truth of the matter the truth of the matter we call for revolution a silver haze filtered through the streets the presses stopped for a moment northern lights over the mountaintop cast shadows in the trees lately all my dreams carry a tinge of blue I awake and see smoke curl around me and you we’re going up in flames burning the past away it’s the truth of the matter the truth of the matter I am a phantom limb my nerves are a one way street so won’t you come down from your window I brought kerosene lately all my dreams carry a tinge of blue I awake and see smoke curl around me and you we’re going up in flames burning the past away it’s the truth of the matter the truth of the matter
