lyrics

Coffee rust and you in my jet stream. My finger throws the butt. Makes it way to the sea. Trace of blood. The drupey pit inside. What's this thing called love? Cross my heart and hope to learn before I die. This too shall clash. This too don't look like it's going to pass so where will I go when I don't know? I'm outside your temple. I'm so profane. Been banging on your walls. In-between my temples this ole rattling brain. Sometimes I wish you were married to me. Old nursery rhymes: compersion and jealousy. I look for the patterns. Don't take my own advice. A drunken prophet caught in the eddy of his own mind. This too shall clash. This too don't look like it's going to pass so where will I go when I explode? Hey better luck next life. I'm outside your temple. I'm so profane. Been banging on your walls. In-between my temples I've been going insane. How'd these walls get so tall? I'm outside your temple baby I'm so profane. Been dropping all my calls. Been spinning in that gyre for some thousand odd days and I don't get no reception out here. The same hands that made the sign of the cross took our clothes off and we got off. Invisible lines we swore we didn't draw well they got crossed and I'm feeling pretty cross with you. A fair-weather and flakey fleshed friend I've always been. Lord when will it end? In the Great Pacific Garbage Patch I'm floating on my back. I ain't ever coming back.
