Calm

Her mind just snapped, said this is it

And she just bit right through her lip

Things are flying, hit the floor

Someone's laughing but it's not her

She just screams out madly "Let it end."

She climbs to the window in stocking feet

And the ants they dance upon the street

Come on down, baby come down from there

Now what are you thinking with that stare?

She cries "If you love me, help it end."

Calm down, baby let's think about before

When we felt like loving, we'd fall down on the floor

We can find our way there again

Let's think about tomorrow

Quit talking all about the end

Her eyes are spinning like vertigo

And a spider crawls by, got somewhere to go

Started thinking 'bout that Twilight Zone

Where the man would scream and nobody'd know

Remember those symphony tickets we bought?

We never made it out of that parking lot

Come on down, baby come down from there

Don't drown yourself in no river of fear

She just whispers softly, "Let it end."

Calm down, baby let's think about before

We loved each other so damn hard we were torn and sore

I swear that I can take you from this place

Don't worry about the pain, girl

I'll wipe out every trace

Let me take you one more time,

Let me know you

Like I did once before

So please, now, take my shaking hand

I beg you

And I demand

She teeters like a see-saw on the edge

And the rocks, they drop but find no end

A bird flys by and winks at me

Says, "How much you pay for this pair of wings?"

She just whispers softly, "Let it end."
