Lyrics
I was in town for a death in the family
You never left
You started a story that you could not finish
And I waited and I waited
While we speak, our ghosts are speaking to each other
Between the walls, a satellite
It's only funny when you're not afraid of everything
Cadillac hope, capitalism killed by lower gods
An eyelash, a present joy
You can't give me what's already mine
We are the hangman and the undertaker
We are the embracers and we are the embrace
We are a silent movie sweetheart with a swollen tongue
And I'm waiting, and I'm waiting
While we speak, our self-made matter
A wine stained mask, a reptile, a cigarette, attention slides away
It's only funny when you're not afraid of everything
Cadillac hope, capitalism killed by an eyelash
A present joy, a present joy
You can't give me what's already mine
You can't give me what's already mine
I was in town for a death in the family
You never left
You started a story that you could not finish
And I waited and I waited
