lyrics

When I met you, you were a pro wrestler, grasping sweaty boys for money in street fights. We would go out at night and knock on strangers’ doors, pretend to be swingers, give people the keys and see what they’d try to do. I feel so close to you when you’re far away.

A beautiful organ coming out of your mouth. Let’s submit ourselves to loving everyone else.

The circus is in town, and from deep down underground we remain in control. The literature tells me you want to be controlled, and I have to be in control. Just like those dreams of yours where you are not mine, and just like canaries in coal mines, trouble follows you. Behind every running ball is a rolling child. Last night you had my buddy Sean convinced he had a broken arm. You were in total control.

A beautiful sound is coming out of your mouth. Let’s submit ourselves to loving everyone else.
