lyrics

when all that's been said of ceremony cracks
upon the king of etiquette's back
he trumpets on his cornet
saying i should forget you

but all mankind has all gone home
as i proudly sit alone
upon this throne the only eyes
i want are yours to go thru

o , o, i want you

we spent all day sat on the floor
making piles of things saying mine and yours
are you sure you don't want to try it once more
you know that i've learned my lesson

you frowned and rattled off some long list
of why you were mad at me i guess
you said you had some things that need addressing
i said okay let me undress them

you laughed and rolled your eyes in scorn
i admit that's when my stomach was torn
a stem of a joke with a venomous thorn
and it was not worth holding on to

so i hid my face and cooly left
you said goodbye, i said well i guess
you went to him, i felt like death
you felt his breath upon you

if i only had the chance again
to brave the cold and howling wind
i'd face the guns and gallows then
to make your work more easy doing

but this here would my world undo
to breath a breath that's not for you
an ocean of emptiness to wander on through
with nothing much left to do in
