Elvis Perkins - The Dumps lyrics

The heavens are smiling upon us The great, white, toothless grin of the newborn and the dying here among us We are starting the living again You have stopped your shivering You won't go to the lake in the mirror again The sea stops tonight and all her little children are hanging tight As I have stopped my moon-walking, glad to say It's oh so tired, and so am I, of stalking yesterday The past will rust in peace The past will rust in peace As the heavens are smiling upon us The goodnight, toothless grin of the newborn and the dying here among us We are starting the living again It's been one lousy couple of months, but now we are coming out of the dumps And everything is calling our names, though the sunshine units are here to stay Like Adam makes small talk with Eve on their six-month anniversary They will go home in separate cars Yes, they will sleep under separate stars You have stopped your shivering You won't go to the lake in the mirror again The sea stops tonight and all her little children are sleeping tight As I have stopped my moon-walking, glad to say It's oh so tired, and so am I, of stalking yesterday The past will rust in peace The past will rust in peace As the heavens are smiling upon us The ghost white, sh**-eating grin of the newborn and the dying here among us We are starting the living again We are starting the living again We are starting the living again
