[Verse 1]
Down by the bowery
There by the window, you've been lightin' forest fires
Chilled by the howling
Moves on the river and it flows your way
Blues in red
[Verse 2]
I can't remember
Names that they carried like a mother to a child
Still I can't shake this
Shameful and blameless and you wash away
Last night's blues in red
[Chorus 1]
And I know you won't help me navigate the longest time
And so we cut away and dance tonight
But we won't be back again
[Verse 3]
So blind and thirsty and my bones ache to the work
Thеre's change in my pockets, rattlеs to the devil's lurch
Can't seem to shake you and I hear him tinker
On its way down low on wholesome lullabies
[Chorus 2]
And I know you won't help me navigate the longest time
And so we cut away and dance tonight
I will say divine
That you won't be back again
[Bridge]
And when the sun hits my beating lips
Sorrows [on a vice?] is a warming sip
But nothin' is sweeter than
Sulfur and ether, but I'm coughing up blood
Just to say that you have won, oh
[Outro]
So we cut away and dance tonight
And help me navigate the doom of time
I will say divine
That you won't be back
