On a gla**-bottomed boat
You escaped to ballot your vote
On a piece of home-made paper
You were a yes
And you were a no
In wet cement
You drew a line
Dancing across the coals
You ask me to pick a side
I've gotta ruin tonight
Cause there's no good way to say I'm leaving you
There is no good way to say I'm leaving you
You used to write
You used to paint
You don't say why you stopped
Or if you'll start again
Your evenings lack their old uniform
It's not hard to think of questions
When answers are all that you want
I've gotta ruin tonight
Cause there's no good way to say I'm leaving you
There is no good way to say I'm leaving you
