lyrics

I’m coming up; she’s leaving
From the balustrades, they’re heaving
Down on the faded rugs and linoleum floors
That they once adored
I spent eternity in your bedroom
Now you cast me out, that’s your purview
Out with the fallen stars in drab, dive bars
Where they try to drown their scars

It’s all or none
I never want to be there when the bells are wrung
Never want to finish what we had begun
I’m clinging ‘til the bitter end

Your mother warned, “don’t waste your time
There’s only lint in his pockets, he’s hardly worth a dime
And a good time won’t ever pay the bills
Honey, please tell me you’re still on the pill”
Or it’s shotgun wedding in a pregnant hurry
Devoid of guests but full of regrets
Surrounded by strangers out on the courthouse steps
Where relief is an early death

It’s all or none
I never want to be there when the bells are wrung
Never want to finish what we had begun
Clinging ‘til the bitter end
But you hang around
Because it’s hard to detach from a joint account
A high-interest mortgage on a low-ceiling house
But I don’t ever want to be

Because I could only let you down
Like gravity under the apple tree
Polytetrafluorethylene
Nothing sticks to me, I get off scot-free
But you could of married silently
To some profiteer of propriety
Who never stirs in his sleep

It’s all or none
I never want to be there when the bells are wrung
Never want to finish what we had begun
I’m clinging ‘til the bitter end
But you hang around
Because it’s hard to detach from a joint account
And a high-interest mortgage on a low-ceiling house
But I don’t ever want to be – what you want me to be
