lyrics

darling you've been drinking i can smell it on your sweat
and the sheets and i share you with at least one other lover
but you keep on swearing that you're gonna kick the habit
i pretend i believe you the response is automatic

i can hear you talking on the phone in the bathroom
running water as your cover
i could use a drink myself
there's nothing sacred about this ritual lack of logic

objectiveness discarded when you ask to use my car
for the night i oblige as i picture it in pieces
by the side of the highway while the vodka and your blood
stain the seats and your lover waits concerned he's been discovered

untenanted and unbrave hearts
are drowning madly like a thousand novice swimmers
we sleep like killers serving time
you mutter something i pretend i wasn't listening
