Lyrics
1: Fuck you He Said 2: Fuck You She Said Both: Fuck You they said As they threw their threads from their wedding bed

We’ll talk about this tomorrow

1: In the backwards of the world In the wings unfurled twirl In the upside down frown of the dark On the tippy toe tin rooftops In the vodka drama thriftshops It’s there we’ll make our mark

It starts off like a pin prick A trick of the light oil slick Then grows to the size of your hand Turns you outside in Cigar burns and scar skin Ripping bone and nail and gland

But your blood does not bleed red no more 2:It’s whiter than the sun burns, its bright with every hum From within this gaping wound of ours Both: A new us has begun. A new us has begun. A new us has begun 2: Can’t we just talk about this Both: Tomorrow

Chorus: Both: Oh light me a new york torch my boys Oh light me a new york torch my boys Oh watch the fire surprise surprise burn up and up into those skies Oh light me a new york torch my boys

1: Tear me up and burn me up and rip me up and leave your Hand on the wall as you go Both: Blood’s pouring like martini Graffiti sweet bikini Is that what you think of me now no no no

1: Are you god or devil, ghost dishevelled Childhood friend or drunken revel I cannot stop I’m bleeding out for you You angel heart you monster oh Some godforsaken prospero Your feathers and your paws Your hell for leather applause You dance on tables, endless labels Are you cain cos I'm not abel Your bastard lasting nightbus asking What’s the everlasting fable

Both: I cannot find the words to keep you I cannot find the words to keep you

2: But your blood does not bleed red no more 1: It’s brighter than the sun burns, its whiter with every hum Both: From within this gaping wound of ours A new us has begun a new us has begun a new us has begun 1: Can’t we just talk about this Both: Tomorrow

Chorus
