As I took step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we’re cold as the step cement
But I just don’t know what you meant
So Alec you may want a pill
We are so cruel and to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment
But I just don’t know what you meant
If we were feckless we’d be fine
Sucking hard on our innocence
But we’ve been bright in our decline
Been left as blackened filament
But I just don’t know what you meant
’cause I feel blood inside the vein
I feel life inside the ligament
I feel alive yeah just the same
Same vigour and the same intent
So I just don’t know if that’s what you meant
Well that was easy waiting
Everything’s easy now
The days are Oh So Normal
But oh, Hannah
how I miss you
Now
I used to lock myself in your bathroom
Swallowing the codeine kept for your back
Numb, so numb
I’d let your words
Come and come
So come on -
Kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
Because I’m leaving you now
That was easy, but how I miss you
Now
I watched you clean the filth off your phone dial
Swallowing the things your finger picked up
Tongue, your tongue
I watched your tongue licking on
Eeuuw
So come
Come on tongue
Ah, come on tongue
Kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
As I’m leaving you now
That was easy, but how I miss you
Eleanor put those boots back on,
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt,
I know it isn’t dignified to run,
But if you run,
You can run to the Coney Island roller coaster,
Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water,
Leap until the Gulf Stream’s brought you down.
I could be there when you land [x2]
So Eleanor take a Green Point three point,
Turn towards the hidden sun,
You know you look so elegant when you run,
If you run, you can run,
To that statue with the dictionary,
Climb to her fingernail and leap, yeah,
Take an atmospheric leap,
Leap and let the jet stream set you down.
Could be there when you land,
I could be there when you land,
Could be there when you land.
So Eleanor put those boots back on,
Put the boots back on and run, run,
Come on over here, come on over here,
Come on over here…
Some granite wall
Numbs our bones, numbs our all
As we sit on skinny hands
Nothing to say, nothing at all
I don’t know you and I don’t want to
You’re so awkward just like me
But I don’t care
You’re the reason I’m leaving
I’d no idea that in four years
I’d be hanging from a beam
behind the door of number ten
Singing fare thee well
I am leaving
Yes I leave it all to you
You’re the reason I’m leaving
As we ride along under an optimistic sun
The radio sings that Everybody song by rem
And Here I Am Fighting Fighting
Yes I’m Fighting not to cry
And that’s another reason
Why I oughtta hate you like I do
Like I do
I’m the reason you’re leaving
