Lyrics

I have a headache. I have a sore back. I have a letter I can't send. I have desire, it falters and falls down, it calls you up drunk at three or four a.m. to wonder when...wonderful. all the cheap tricks I tried too hard not to pull. pulled along or pulled apart. the diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart. I have a story that I'd like to tell you, it's littered with settings and second takes. I have a feeling that hums with the street lights and hides under ice in always frozen lakes. my mistake to make you cringe. another greeting like a broken creaky hinge to oil and push or pry apart. the diagnosis of a foreign frame of heart. found a cure for being sure, and, sure as anything, I'll smile for my reckoning
