lyrics

set it up on three legs and take what you can
'cause you're never going to have us in the same room again
i'm no astronaut, but is this cosmos in-between us just a waste of space?

stumbling over cobblestones, the old man learns to live alone
to toss and turn the light out when the cat is sleeping on her own
and sorrow is a simple spouse to tease, take out your teethe, take out the trash several days too early

some say you tango to the end because you tangle with your friends
but if there's no-one left around you, let the funeral begin
'cause a day without another face is prelude to a mummification of memories

it rests between a couple pages like a relic of some age
submerged beneath a layer of dust, a part of me i can't cut off
an anthology of all my mythologizings of you

don't let this cup pass by my lips
it's just a stumbling block i can't resist
don't let this cup pass by my lips
it's just a stumbling block i can't resist
