Besides She Said

But who will know my secrets now

Oh depart, disarm me with your blade

Let me walk the masses trade in all serenity

I suffer, you suffer in kindness

There's a box to sober you up

When you're drunk on the memory of me, disease

On a day like today of all days, remember

I'm not dead, I just went away

"Besides," she said outside the tent

"They are playing our song"

We're bent, we're broke, we're leaning on each other

Duffled and drunk and the fumes billowing out

And the city seems so distant, so goodnight

Goodnight

Who'll phone the doc when I'm sick?

Give in to grins, answer only patient questions

I'm sick of answering, that's my sickness

Last of the garden gazers

You've been living in the past too long

It's unhealthy oh but it's safe child, it's safe

These are just fleeting moments

Pick the ones you like and hold on, hold on

"Besides," she said outside the tent

"They are playing our song"

We're bent, we're broke, we're leaning on each other

Duffled and drunk and the fumes billowing out

And the city seems so distant

"And besides," she said

"We got time left, we're only half dead

We're only half dead," so goodnight

Goodnight

Fall apart baby

We'll just fall apart, fall apart
