lyrics

What did you mean by ‘love’?
Love, love—are you certain that’s the word you’re thinking of??

Drowning in a wave of fun:
you tell me that that’s acceptable, acceptable.
Counting back from ten to one,
I guess it was predictable, predictable.

I’ll be draining all the blood that ever flowed
cuz you said you felt invincible, in principle.
Crowing all the big clichés; you read them
in your poetry and so did she.

This is how the west was won:
a matchstick and a Marlboro, a Marlboro.
All the pretty horses run.
They tell me it’s so hard to find your heart of gold.

I’ll be burning all the bridges that I crossed
since I lost you in the undertow, so long ago.
Washed up in a lawless town, you’ll win back
what you lost out there: your faithful mare.
Oh no!

On the banks,
Spanish lakes,
you swore you’d
never make
the same mistake,
but once you see
your great escape,
you never hesitate, hesitate!
