lyrics

Hey oh

Did her love for me frail?
My god I've gone AWOL
Need to say all I can say
While I'm still able

Will my love her stay whole
Or start drifting away slow
Well who’s to say so?
Come what may, oh
Well how does that prayer go?
Tell me how does that prayer go?

Your love struck me a new hole
Stung by Hermes lost arrow Who shot it from where though?
Who knows, this is age old
Been since Plato
Turned to play-doh
We're still catching his cave's cold
my god I got angels crossed with devils
oh what rebels
oh how does that prayer go
Tell me how does that prayer go?

And I hope that I'll be there with you my love
throwing back a beer as we watch the flood
for when the end is coming I want your love
and nothing else will matter as the skies cloud up

And we'll be making love as the earth turns black
We stare into our eyes 'cause we can't look back
Baby this is it, only minutes left
The love I have for you it completes my death
Now my eyes won't close
while what gave us life is broke This is not what we meant by hope
Space was close
Now no astronauts can go
Our Priorities always low

Take hold
Our particles stay close
once touched they remain pulled
Like in some cosmic play full
of sinners and saints told
from all different angels
Like a Salvador brush stroke
the square lights your whole soul
It’s what's caught in the slowmo
That’s bringing you home though
So how did that prayer go



I hear your engine revving
laughing the whole way home
I want my walls in heaven
I'd like to be left alone
Fuck all your pushin and shoving I’m never letting it go
All of the pretty women
I'll miss Them most of all

All that pain is at our fingertips
Pull you close kiss your apocalypse
Finally we can bring an end to this baby

Fuck me now and let's start this crazy trip
The whole iceberg baby not just the tip
Discreet or in the streets
It’s all the same to me baby

Cause you’ve got it all
You've got it all like a rock you stand tall
as it sears off your flesh into gardens of trash
Feel it melt off your bones
Watch it meld with the stones
Powder fills your nose every hole baby

You gotta to crawl crawl crawl on the floor
until you can't keep crawling no more
You see a flash of all you adored, as it takes you

Even though you're born to survive
no matter what choice you're gonna di
you can crawl crawl all you like it will find you

I've got something on my mind
I want you to be my bride
Hey Little darling won't you step inside can I help you
put your hands up on the line
if you didn't steal you'll be fine / then you'll be fine
you better hope, hope, that we don't find anything baby /
Hope babe that we don't find what can kill you
