We saw the western coast
|
I saw the hospital
|
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
|
Reports of lover's tryst
|
Were neither clear nor descript
|
We kept it safe and slow
|
The quiet things that no one ever knows
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
So keep the blood in your head
|
And keep your feet on the ground
|
If today's the day it gets tired
|
Today's the day we drop out
|
Gave up my body and bed
|
All for an empty hotel
|
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
|
|
I contemplate the day we wed
|
Your friends are boring me to death
|
Your veil is ruined in the rain
|
By then it's you I can do without
|
There's nothing new to talk about
|
And though our kids are blessed
|
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
So keep the blood in your head
|
And keep your feet on the ground
|
If today's the day it gets tired
|
Today's the day we drop out
|
Gave up my body and bed
|
All for an empty hotel
|
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
|
|
[Bridge: x2]
|
I lie for only you
|
And I lie well...
|
Hallelu...
|
|
[Chorus: x2 (words from bridge continued in the background)]
|
So keep the blood in your head
|
And keep your feet on the ground
|
Today's the day it gets tired
|
Today's the day we drop out
|
Gave up my body and bed
|
All for an empty hotel
|
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
|
