Crying at the cinema, puking from the third floor Stealing from the street sale, kissing at the front door Smoking on the pavement, dialing you by accident Wishing you’d have stayed and wondering where the day went Wondering where the day went Wondering where the day went Listening to Pavement and wondering where the day went Late nights in new lands, mid-run lemonade stand playing with a strange band, all high-fives and hey mans Only found one slipper, never wearing sunscreen You and me in alleys and we’re wondering if this fun’s clean Wondering if this fun’s clean Wondering if this fun’s clean You and me in alleys and we’re wondering if this fun’s clean Rhythm in the bedroom, construction on the street Our love is forbidden but we’re soaking in the heat You make noises in your sleep, you’re so nervous cause you’re guilty She thinks that you’re clean but I know that you’re filthy I know that you’re filthy I know that you’re filthy She may think you’re clean but I know that you’re filthy Our thrown clothes A halo Around my bed And I – I – I said you’re dead to me You are dead to me I’m just in the mess where you left me The glacier on my chest cold and heavy I’m under happiness where you left me The glacier on my chest cold and heavy Heavy, heavy, heavy Heavy, heavy, heavy The glacier on my chest cold and heavy

I believe in staggering beauty In lovesick glances, in the perfect song In small-time crooks and Vonnegut books In falling asleep when it’s almost dawn I believe in laughter In what’s now not what comes after, in swing batter batter And sometimes I miss and I look back at the catcher And I think I’m in a movie and I think you’re just an actor I believe in magic In music when it’s tragic, in turtledoves In broken clocks and late-night walks In the risks people take when they fall in love In waking up shaking with a fever and cough The day after you took off The day – the day after you took off Of all of the dangerous games that I have played You’re the cursed one You’re the cursed one Of all of the pretty mistakes that I have made You’re the worst one You’re the worst one I believe in the cracks in the ceiling In capturing the feeling of goodnight but not goodbye In friends with tunes, in marquee moons In the changing of seasons in the blink of an eye In losing it all without warning In the truth of the morning In the truth – in the truth of the morning Of all of the dangerous games that I have played You’re the cursed one You’re the cursed one Of all of the pretty mistakes that I have made You’re the worst one You’re the worst one

I wore hurt on my face like a flag bearer waving colours in a blue parade While your sharp teeth shone like spotlights on the audience in May A frigate bound for the sea, I dropped anchors in every bay But I lost them all to rotted rope, helplessly sailing away I lay in your bedroom with my guard down I’m the ear to the ground in your hometown But my love lies west of this mess In the steel grey city I blessed You wore shoes on your feet like pylons, a gift from old flame to old flame And I wove ‘round those orange obstacles and put your sneaky slalom to shame In our last set of bed sheet blues our bodies greeted the day And I left your village with words on my breath but not much at all to say And then I exited your bedroom with my guard down And I left all I found in your hometown But my body lies west of this mess In the steel grey city I blessed In the steel grey blessed city In the city blessed steel grey Bless the grey steel city, baby And the river that sailed me away
