In that morning we went downstairs
The night written into our eyes
Such a soft bit of the moon remained
Upon your sparkling thigh
Athena’s ring I wore, on life
I swore I’d never find another
When I left that night, I lied again
and whispered "I still love you"
Would I whisper through the wall
“It seems to me, my heart, you’ve changed”
Only little bits about me
Have survived your going away
I wish your wedding vow you’d torn
Your mama’s gown up into pieces
But you thank God each night
For every filthy road you took to meet him
You were always just like the moon
How you touch my arm and nicked my cheek
Then our earth started being kinda funny it
Bubbled out and became the sea
Super dark when my heart started beating but I
Saw your eyes glow through the deep
All I want is your hand and a reason but you
Got another name weighing on me
Would I whisper through the wall
“It seems to me, my heart, you’ve changed”
Only little bits about me
Have survived your going away
All the Ashen land I swore
We set the earth itself on fire
Fuck you and your mama’s gown,
Your vows, and every night that I spent crying

I started out softly on two-dollar wine
Till I found harder stuff
My baby, she swore she’d stay by my side
But she left when my game got rough
She said, “I’m going back to New York tonight,
“Don’t you think you’ve taken enough?”
Olivia I met, and we became friends
Then, just then, we were lovers
Had that daydream look inside our eyes
Her red lips on mine and no others’
So, my mistake - we were lovers, not friends
These days, I don’t risk another
Of all the money in my life I spent
And all the fears and woes I rent
They say sadness comes alone
But joy was born a twin
Couldn’t keep her eyes on the road
These days, I’m wanderin’
Cuz I started out slowly on two-dollar wine
Then I found harder stuff
My baby she swore she’d stay by my side
But she left when my lips got rough
She said, “I’m going back to New York tonight,
“Don’t you think you’ve taken enough?”

Anne’s old man with the gun in his hand
On the porch in the sun
Well, my whole life I was made for this
I think I’m ready, I’m ready for the fun
I’m goin’ down
To see my savior
I’m goin’ down
That’s where she roams
I’m just goin’ there to see her
I’m just goin’, goin’ home
But believe me, you’ll believe me
I’m the one
Believe me, you’ll believe me
I’m the one
Not this chump
Anne, splayed in the backseat of the van
With the gun and the bong
Says to me,
“Well I swear to God I’ll light this flame for you
“But you better, you really better believe
We’re going down
To see my savior
We’re going down
That’s where she roams
We’re just goin’ there to see her
We’re just goin’, goin’ home’ “
But believe me, you’ll believe me
We’re not done
Oh believe me, you’ll believe me
We’re not done
Not this run
Anne cowers so sweetly
In the back of the store, at the charge
Singing on and on and on
“Our whole life philosophy involves
“Two parrots and a swan, fucking
“On the lawn
And I swear I’m down,
I see my savior
I swear I’m gone
I see my love
I’m just runnin’ on to see her
I’m just moaning, moaning, moaning on”
But believe me, you’ll leave me
After all
Oh believe me, you’ll leave me
After all I did for you
