Hot Rock

Our love is the size of these tumors inside us
Our love is the size of this hospital room, you're my hospital
Groom

Put the ring on my finger, so tight it turns blue
A constant reminder, i'll die in this room if you die in this room

Sit like a watchdog and patiently wait
Listen for footsteps down the hallways, visit beds like they're
Graves

Days go by so slowly
Nights go by so slowly
In a hospital room
In a box built for two

I fight for air, fight for my own air
Forget all the things i can do alone
I fight for a heart, i fight for a strong heart
I fight to never know this sickness you know
But i know it's my own, i gave it a home

Our love is the size of these tumors inside us
Our love is the size of this hole in the ground, where my heart's
Buried now.

And when the body finally starts to let go
Let it all go at once
Not peice by peice,
But like a whole bucket of stars
Dumped into the universe
Whoooh! watcb it go!
Good-bye small hands, good-bye small heart
Good-bye small head
My soul is climbing tree trunks
And swinging from every branch

They're calling on me,
They're calling on me...

Do you think i'm an animal?
Am i not?
Do you like fur
Do you wanna come over
Are we captive only for a short time
Is there splendor, i'm not ashamed
Desire shoots through me
Like birds singing
(the way you move no ocean's waves were ever as fluid)

They're calling on me,
They're calling on me...

I hit the mark!
I target moon, i target sky, i target sun.
Fall down on the world before it falls on you.

Like beggars, like stars,
Like whores, us all
Like beggars, like dogs
Like stars, us all

Shoot straight for my heart
(and when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear)

Like stars, so small
Like us, when we fall
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers, get up!
Get up...too far.

Don't talk like
Like you're nineteen
You're thirty-five
If you're a day
Don't act like
Like you're nineteen
Everyone is waiting

Haven't i done enough this time
Haven't i done enough today

Don't stope here she said
Don't say that
A part of me is dead
Numb just like a
Fallen limb
Like what you've left behind

There's a part of me
That works just like a child
There's a part of me
That's you

Once i had all, had everything
The real princess, the ruling queen.
I walked with arrogance, with vanity
But i made sure my heart
They wouldn't see.

One day i woke up it was gone
The castle kingdom all were lost.
Now i have nothing left,
Nowhere to go.
And my heart that's full of doubt
Is all i've left to show.

She is living in exile.

I'll walk 3,000 lonely miles.
I'll start a new life on my own.
Don't know what i'm waiting for,
But when it comes,
You know i'll be ready
A new woman.

I know my head is my worst enemy
Swallowed too much of it and started to believe
I know my heart is my worst enemy
Swallowed too much of it and started to believe

I'd set your heart on fire but arson is no way
To make a love burn brighter.
(when you saw me, on that first day
Said i'd blossom under your care).

Always thought that the devil was the only one
Who knew the ins and outs of the ways of love,
So i sold off my heart to see how this would end,
Now i can't move an inch for fear it will begin.
(wrap me up tight inside your wing
Is it safe now, is it safe to breathe?)

You come in between me and the darkness,
Please don't ever leave.
(i force my eyes open, and now who has changed?
You look different, so different today)

Holding your eyes in the hardest stare
Running around like you wanted me there
Lookin' at me like i'm the hottest in town
Then turnin's your back when you're movin' around
I ain't gonna listen to you no more
Breakin' outta this place throwin' open the door
Use me up just to fan the flame
But you'll be sorry as i'm walkin' away
(backwards, forwards going out of my mind,
Spinning way off time
Fire to water, baby's putting me out)

You're the truest light i've known,
But someday i'll learn i don't need your fuel to burn.
(i'm the one who decides who i am
I'm the one who will shed this old skin)

Always thought that hell was the only place
Hot enough to melt our heart into a locked embrace.
There's something so safe about a lack of air
The only way to make sure that you'll always be there
(i force my eyes open, and now who has changed?
I feel different, so different today)

Did you really change your mind?
Could this be your only crime?

I've learned how to wait, i know not to beg.
I know i shouldn't ask why i wake up feeling dead.
(say forever, that's a dirty word
Will you stay here, that's a dirty girl)
Perform of my life, performance of your life.
(act two, scene four, line three
I want this room, just for me, just for me)

You said you'd never be mine, you swore it to me until the end of time.
You said that love's never kind,
I memorize these lines, practice them every night.

We can talk it out, tell each other lies.
We can just pretend today isn't goodbye.
(it will be soon, now
Heard that before
You better polish your speech
Before you hit the floor...)

Won't you tell me what are we fighting for?
Do you want me here do you know for sure?
You know the coldest face is the worst to me
And i won't calm down 'till i get to you

You know that i wish i could undo this role
Let's go back to what, what we came here for

Banned from the end of the world
I've no millenial fear,
The future is here, it comes every year.
(if you want me there, i'll play forever dear
Open up the box a new life rushes out
Nasty little bug, much work to be done
Eat all the numbers up, we're 00 gone!)

Hot hot, go back these eyes are shut!

If you want it, i'll come right over,
Then throw me out when the party's over.

Banned from the end of your world
We can bottle time and sell it back
It's a nostalgic crime!
(if you want me there, we'll party without fear
A new world rushes on and we'll just play
Along
A night of revelry, spend it here with me
For so many dreams cannot be contained)

Banned from the end of the world
The future is here, look in the mirror
(we're the band from the end of the world.)
