about

I really don't want to call it this

lyrics

i thought we made a pact
that i would darken your doorway no more
but not all pacts
are signed in blood

in fact i know this one wasn't
though there was sweat and there were tears
and now i'm ringing your doorbell
i mean you promised beers

what do you expect?
i'm only human
i always go back to the source
seeking that same old warmth

and you opened the door
you hung there like a shadow back in the hall
and you lead me into
my best dreams and opened the shudders to all of my nightmares

you said we were like poison for each other
but i drank down the vial
and you've got the antidote in your
crooked smile

teeth white as tombstones
dripping with wine stains
looks like this torch song of ours
is gonna get one last refrain

so let's make it a good one
let's not drive each other crazy too much
i know i've done some bad things
and so have you

so let's salvage what we can
while the oxygen lasts
if we don't die in this shipwreck
we'll be rich the moment we make it back

hold on to the flash light
won't you grab my hand real tight
we're groping in the darkness
scouting the wreck for gold doubloons

the hull of the galleon
is rotting away
given enough time
everything will decay
