lyrics

The works fell out of your pocketbook
I stared at the ground and I cooked up a look
And I threw it in your eyes pretending like I hadn't seen
Your eyes like black petunias sighed, your pupils pulled back and so did the time
I tried to maintain my sense of responsibility
The coffin was there and the air it was dry, your pale skin glowed like the end of the line
Like that white, blue light that everybody has got to see

And I said please, don't do this to me

I decided I could no longer just stand by and let this go down right before my eyes
That sooner or later something was gonna start happening
You didn't like that too well, you punched me in the eye, you tore up my shirt and you pummeled my mind
Told me that everything I've every recognized as enchanted was just by accident
I found you two days later slouched on your side, at the foot of your bed, not a note left behind
Just the marks on your arm spelling out a tragedy
So I hopped on the El and I took me a ride to the edge of the town where all love goes to die
I kissed cold steel bells and that was it for me, that was it for me

And I said please, don't do this to me
