The landlord's a cut throat
We've gotta calm down before he wakes
And I'm trying to breathe right
I'm closing my eyes in hope she disappears
She's crying an ocean about me
I tell her:
"Lock it up."
And that's when the dish breaks
I swear to god it was the loudest bang
She's holding a pistol
Goddamn, I bet she's never felt so...
She's shaking like a nine millimeter
I tell her:
"Rat-tat-tat"
Now I'm leaving for the rest of my life tonight
And I kissed her neck and I hugged her tight
No need to jump through the window
You know I'm a sucker for crescendos
And I begged her to tell me that she loved me the same
She shook her head and said she'll never love again
I made a dash to the window
Fuck it, I'm gonna kill the crescendo
So it goes.
So it goes.
In heaven so it goes.
Everybody knows
How far the rabbit goes
A clone of copied xerox
From the hanger in his throat
I gathered up my evidence
I threw on my winter coat
A black cat crossed my path
And then I saw his ghost
"Stand still."
Can't you
"Stand still."
"I can't beat your case of bad blues unless you tell me you love her still."
And I could see it meant more to him than anything had before
He shook his head in horror and said "Now I love her more."
And as he hit the window he stopped to say "goodbye"
She was running towards him with the devil in her eyes
He fell
Face first
Ten floors
With her
On top of him beautifully tumbling - dancing almost
He laughed
She winked
The flag burns
Ship sinks
Both of them smashing and breaking so brilliantly
(sax solo)
He was always saying:
"If it's broke it's not worth saving,"
Regretfully the irony
Was never more so fitting
He was always cheating
And she as always dreaming
Of him coming home one day
And tell her that he's leaving
"Stand still."
Can't you
"Stand still."
You can't avoid the window unless you leave the window sill.
My blood fills with ice, I thought
"Damn how it's nice to feel
Sober and bright,"
I thought
"Goddamn, it's nice!"
My dreams filled with ice, I thought
"Damn, how it's bright
I never treated her nice
I should've killed myself twice."
Bad dreams
It was like a bad dream woah
The story of my life:
"Climbing up stairs felt like:
Gripping the ledge
Clearing my head
She pushed me
Over the edge."
(Get your hands off of my hands lover)
Bad dreams, it was like a bad dream woah

Good Luck . Trophy Scars . Bad Luck . 3/17/09.
Children running down the street in uniforms laughing in the rain
And heading towards me, they were yelling about something
They were singing in code, something like
Ten dead men on a dead mans chest, fight the war forget about the rest
They were searching for sunlight they were searching for gold
So I, catch a fever from the inside
Dip my hands into my pockets
Open up my wallet
Such a strange gesture to make in this town
"Sure, it ain't gold but it gets me around."
Then I grab a twenty from the inside
Hand it to the smallest, tell him "Spend it wisely."
He looks up at me then back at the ground
I just wish him luck and turn right around
Now I talk to myself late at night
Or I try to connect with the ghost who was a best friend
My brother, my accomplice, another writer, my best man
And sometimes I feel so forgiven at night
I just put down the shades but I open my window
The bad luck just leaves me I hear Ben tell me
"Brother, you're home."
I think it all started in the summer '98
In Normandy New Jersey, later in the day
I was thinking about existence, and unaccepting fate
I was 14 years old, but what else can I say
Even then I knew time was gonna catch me
I graduated private school in the summer of '02
My first true love had left me and I didn't know what to do
I moved into New York and I thought I found the truth
A pint glass full of paddy's and pills you shouldn't chew
Well, I swore that the drugs were gonna kill me
I was wrong I was wrong, I was writing a song
I tried to blame myself because she was gone
I didn't know that she was unaffected, her bad luck came through a needle
I knew that the drugs were gonna kill her
Fast forward to the fall of '05
I met the girl of my dreams, and she helped me survive
Then she left my life at a complicated time
In march of '06 I attempted suicide
Well, I know that sudafed can't kill me
For everyone who knew, yeah, I apologize
I'm sorry mom and dad, no I never meant to make you cry
Thanks to all my friends you're the reason I'm alive
You make everyday worth living in this ribbon called time
Well, it'll take more than bad luck just to kill me!
Limbs and things and verbs and sounds
I got ten years of words buried in the ground
They're being reassembled by the ghost of Ben Brown
He's adapting the screenplay even still now
And he better cast someone cool like Johnny Depp to play me
The child took my 20 and he looked me in the eyes
He said "Thanks, mister for the gold." and continued walking by
I could see him proudly show his friends it made me want to cry
Cause all I could do was think of mine, I know I'm a lucky guy
And thank you all for everything I miss you all, goodnight
