Lovers - The First Law Of Thermodynamics lyrics
[Lovers - The First Law Of Thermodynamics lyrics]
Out in the school yard building a tomb
For the beautiful skeleton asleep
In your parents' room
And you couldn't find anyone to talk to
So your heart was broken and nobody knew
Until the doctors opened you
And what they found
Was the two halves beating
Separately and orbiting around
Your body with the energy that
Sprung forth from the ground
Your body's made of energy that
Comes from the ground
There's a blackbird sitting on your bones
Perched above your rib cage
Whistling the tones
Of a sad organ pumping and
The only way it knows
That the sound of ghosts thumping
When the winter wind blows
All those voices coming quickly
And orbiting around
To make to make your madness silky
Soft and white as down
With their cedar-scented sadness
And dressing gowns
They'll dry you cheeks with the torn
Sleeves of their favorite dressing gowns
And how your love is like a vulture
And now it's circling around and
It makes the sweetest sound
"I will be wanted i will be wanted"
And it feeds off what is dead
How your love is like a vulture
It feeds off what is dead
And now it's circling around your head
Your love is like a vulture it
Feeds off what is dead i will be honest
I will be honest
I've not forgotten what I said
Come and find me when you're dead
My heart is haunted my heart is haunted
'Cause now you're hanging around
Now you're hanging around in the hereafter
Happily ever after this
I said your name and blew a kiss
Goodnight, my love
Remember this: you'll always be
The one I miss
Broken into shards just out of the womb
I watched as your scars grew
From the ground and bloomed
For the beautiful skeleton asleep
In your parents' room
And you couldn't find anyone to talk to
So your heart was broken and nobody knew
Until the doctors opened you
And what they found
Was the two halves beating
Separately and orbiting around
Your body with the energy that
Sprung forth from the ground
Your body's made of energy that
Comes from the ground
There's a blackbird sitting on your bones
Perched above your rib cage
Whistling the tones
Of a sad organ pumping and
The only way it knows
That the sound of ghosts thumping
When the winter wind blows
All those voices coming quickly
And orbiting around
To make to make your madness silky
Soft and white as down
With their cedar-scented sadness
And dressing gowns
They'll dry you cheeks with the torn
Sleeves of their favorite dressing gowns
And how your love is like a vulture
And now it's circling around and
It makes the sweetest sound
"I will be wanted i will be wanted"
And it feeds off what is dead
How your love is like a vulture
It feeds off what is dead
And now it's circling around your head
Your love is like a vulture it
Feeds off what is dead i will be honest
I will be honest
I've not forgotten what I said
Come and find me when you're dead
My heart is haunted my heart is haunted
'Cause now you're hanging around
Now you're hanging around in the hereafter
Happily ever after this
I said your name and blew a kiss
Goodnight, my love
Remember this: you'll always be
The one I miss
Broken into shards just out of the womb
I watched as your scars grew
From the ground and bloomed
