Silver Jews - How To Rent A Room lyrics

No I don't really want to die I only want to die in your eyes I'm still here below the chandelier Where they always used to read us our rights I want to wander through the night As a figure in the distance even to my own eye Have you ever rented a room? Have you even ever rented a room? An anchor lets you see the river move Now that your evil dreams came true There on your face A row of teeth will come to replace I know you laughed When I left But you really only hurt yourself You see your curtains move in the wind You can bet I'm betting against you again Cause I'm a man who has a wife who has a mother Who married one but she loved another You're a tower without the bells You're a negative wishing well Should have checked the stable door For the name of the sire and dame You were always at the dog track With your brother and all his friends Chalk lines around my body Like the shore line of a lake Your laughter made me nervous It made your body shake too hard Now there's a lot of things that I'm gonna miss Like thunder down country and the way water drips When you're running for the door in the rain Read the metro section Read the metro section Read the metro section See my name No I didn't really want to die I only wanted to die in your eyes Grant me one last wish Life should mean a lot less than this Grant me one last wish Life should mean a lot less than this
