Laments Lyrics

It's a green-striped sheet lifted from me.
I am free of two very heavy, bodies...

Once we three had,
Slept soundly. -I couldn't,
Keep them around.
Fold the blankets down -and,
Found new sleeping ground...
Bedsprings squeeking.
Tires squealin' away,
From one another. -We all,
Used to be lovers here.

Bodies laying, -Will say,
They'll stay just like,
Boxes stacked the same way.
Labeled and seperated. -Hey.

Go ahead, take the couch. -I know,
I don't wanna sit here, next to nobody.
Go ahead, take the fridge. -I know,
I don't want you, going hungry. -Yea.
Go ahead, take the cat. -I know,
You're only gonna be coming back so...
Go ahead, take it all.

I know you've been wanting to...
Settle... down.
Has it always been, settling down?

One on the left says-
To the one on the right:
"I could make, a very good wife for you."

One on the right says-
To the one on the left:
"Let's take this one...
Step at a time."

One on the right says to the one on the left:
"You know I need you...
All The Time"
One on the right says to the one on the left:
"I think I've changed...
My mind."

My insides sing-

A song for the sad ones,
Who say they'll marry -they guess...
If she's wearin' a white dress!
If he behaves his very best!

A song for the sad ones,
Who say they'll marry -they guess.
If she's wearin' a white dress!
If he behaves his very best!

A song for the sad ones!
Who say they'll marry -they guess.
If she's wearin' a white dress!
If he behaves his very very best!

Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes.

[Yes. Yes. Yes.]
[Yes. Yes. Yes.]

Go ahead, take the couch. -I know,
I don't wanna sit here, next to nobody.
Go ahead, take the fridge. -I know,
I don't want you, going hungry. -Yea.
Go ahead, take the cat. -I know,
You're only gonna be coming back so...
Go ahead, take it all.
I know you've been wanting to...
Settle... down.
Has it always been... settling... down~~~?

My elastic steel and spring,
They will tell you everything,
If you lay down, for a minute.

My elastic steel and spring,
They will tell you everything,
If you lay down, for a minute.

The mattress maker's making his,
Living by the minute.
By the minute.

The mattress maker's making his,
Living by the minute.
By the minute...

The mattress maker's making his livin',
Baby by~ by the~...

The mattress maker's makin',
His livin', baby by the~

Mattress maker's makin',
His livin'... baby by by~

[The mattress maker's makin his livin' baby by...]
