lyrics

There's a trash can warming two men's hands
There's a bird—no, it's a plastic bag
You're on my brain
What makes a vowel say its name?
You will use me up and I would let you
So I gotta toughen up but what can I do?
Oh, your body is a Bentley
Oh, please let me down gently
I still love you evidently
I don't wanna live when you're gone
I don't wanna stay out if you're home
I just wanna live in my own world
While the fire cracks and curls
If I'm the oyster you're the pearl
The Earth turns, the world burns
There's a woman stitching stars somewhere
Into curtains, in her graying hair
It's on my mind
Who can withstand the test of time?
It'll use you up, you can't let it
No you gotta toughen up, or you'll regret it
Always tired, never sleeping
Always sowing, never reaping
While the willow's softly weeping
The Earth turns, the world burns
I don't know who I think I am
Neither a woman, nor a man
Who is God and what's their plan?
Do you know? Cause I don't
I'm always tired, never sleeping
You're always sewing, never reaping
I don't wanna live when you're gone
I don't wanna stay out if you're home
I just wanna live in my own world
While the fire cracks and curls
The Earth turns
