Malkmus wrote this song in tribute to his late friend, writer Robert Bingham, who died of a heroin overdose at age 33 in November 1998. The title “Church on White” refers to Bingham’s former address in New York City.
[Verse 1]
Bleed the pot
When you're hot you're hot
And when enough is enough
Do the fakers drop out?
Promise me
You will always be
Too awake to be famous
Too wired to be safe
[Chorus]
But all you really wanted
Was everything
Plus everything
And the truth
I only poured you
Half a lie
[Verse 2]
Carry on
It's a marathon
Take me off the list
I don't want to be missed
Carrion
Its what we all become
From small minds and tall trees
Away from the action
[Chorus]
But all you ever wanted
Was everything
And everything
Plus the truth
I only poured you
Half a lie
Half a lie
I only poured you half a lie
