Who Fell Asleep
She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me At the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme We turned our backs to the church with our trousers around our knees While screaming the scriptures, she said I was her favorite heresy
In a note I read, 'If you should go blind and deaf I'll cleanse and I'll bathe you and I'll cook for you daily I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest All of the same conversations we have now in bed' I don't mean to be selfish but I think I'd sooner just be dead
Behind the tennis court alongside the river Not a single live flower to see This is the one girl who woke up from all that And now falls asleep next to me But I swear now every time that I kiss her She feels her God breathe on her shoulder It pains me but I'm sure she's still yours
She said she wanted a sea burial Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Not grass and hypodermics to her hips I prune the ivy from your grandmother's tomb More tender and careful than the superstitious Ripped you from your mother's womb
In a note I wrote, 'I think too much about the end But being around it made me feel like I'm coping now When I view the cemetery I don't see headstones I see rows of engraved middle teeth, hungry waiting for me And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief'
Behind the tennis court alongside the river Paper flowers still beautiful thing This is the one girl who woke up from all that And now falls asleep next to me But I swear now, every time that I kiss her She feels her God breathe on her shoulder It pains me but I'm sure she's still yours
