Perfecting Loneliness

Perfecting Loneliness Lyrics

I'm a long list with no time
sunset panic on the street
sugar and light bulbs
the milk of kindness is behind us now
with all those stones in your coat
did you think they wouldn't know?

The tea leafs of trashed sheets
dirty needles and sweets
zero to heaven in seven
a life time a nano second
all the sand in your glass
is going by so fast
the radio is playing our tune
i love it could you turn it down
the thought of you crying in my room
i miss you could you come around sometime

when the night comes down
the world becomes a room
under a microscope
with a lab coat and glue
i'm fixing this whole with everything i knew
the music is making my head split
i love it could you turn it off
the thought of you is tearing me in two
i miss you could you come around sometime, sometime

this list is what went right
your name is written twice
cause we live like astronauts
and our missons never cross

the stakes are high
we're standing by

there used to be a hundred ways
to put my arms around you
everyone seemed new, natural, and true
perfecting loneliness
till nothing's holding us
consider earth
we could be far worse
