A Story for Supper

This place is going dead
Snap our picture, let's go
Down outside

You're so perfect in pink
A black bracelet, I could never forget
So let's drink up tonight

You say, you say it
It's running through my veins
Well please stay safe, you're seventeen
Limousine will take us to meet the crowds
Never seen room for mistake
But your best way out was her

(So what's this day after day?)
Dresses and alcohol join
(And your emotions so dull)
Ill bring you back to your
(So what's the drugs have to say?)
Car first. So why we cry?
(And we will soon forget)

Now were safe, and so sound
"I can hear your heartbeat", she whispers in the car
Well travel east until you see Ironwood
Now it's understood: it's finally kicked in

And as we stop by this gathering of fire at the rocks
I've forgotten this whole world, and here's to one more
A story told to scare, a tale to replace
Words of no real meaning, and such awful taste-
Less lips

(So what's this day after day?)
Dresses and alcohol join
(And your emotions so dull)
I'll bring you back to your car first
(So what's the drugs have to say?)
So why we cry?
(And we will soon forget)

Let's say we were better than our bodies were found
And I saw her. There she goes, and there she goes
Her bright face, her bright smile, can't change that

I never knew that a night could end so, so, so, so
So there we were minutes from making it
Celebrate we're finally done and gone
And though this highway is all too long
One more mile to the hotel

This music's soft and it sounds so good to me
But you taste of liquor and who will care
I almost fought to the death
Yet death had come to this fight
Look, look, now let's see who
One twenty-two
I softly worried not saying a word to the driver
Just sing your favorite verse out of key
I still think it sounds so good to me

Let it go!

I bet you love me now, now that you've had your drinks
Oh it's been fun but it's ooo--

This girl
Loves fear

Well this can wait, I can stay, he said it's up here on the right
Wait no I don't know, it's safe
Where did you go when
Now all I see are faces
Pale to the touch
Close your eyes and sing
We're lost

But the car had too much force to it
And the road is so unforgiving
Windows shatter like dust and make
Glass streets and something for our feet

But she asked can we slow down
Traffic is time, so we drove and we drove and we drove
Cause all we lost was years
Oh well
Think of this, think of me
And we will

(And we will soon forget)

We'll say we were better than our bodies were found
And I saw you, but there she goes and there she goes
Her bright face, her bright smile, we can't change that

We'll say we were better than our bodies were found
And I saw you, but there she goes and there she goes
Her bright face, her bright smile, we can't change that

There she goes and there she goes
