Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

Epitaph for My Heart

"Caution: to prevent electric shock do not remove cover

No user-serviceable parts inside Refer servicing to qualified

Service personnel"

Let this be the epitaph for my heart

Cupid put too much poison in the dart

This is the epitaph for my heart because it's gone, gone gone

And life goes on and on and on and death goes on, world without end

And you're not my friend

Who will mourn the passing of my heart

Will its little droppings climb the pop chart

Who'll take its ashes and,

Singing, fling them from the top of the Brill Building

And life goes on,

And dawn, and dawn and death goes on,

World without end and you're

Not my friend
