The Magnetic Fields - A Serious Mistake lyrics

Although we know that someone's
Heart will break
Hey Jake, let's make a serious mistake
And while we smile, look forward to heartache
Let's undertake a serious mistake

Which one of us will it be
To end this tale of misery?
When will this comedy turn sour?
A year, a month, a week, an hour?

All we can be sure of is it will
All good things come to bad ends but still
Although we know that someone's
Heart will break
Hey Jake, let's make a serious mistake
And while we smile, look forward to heartache
Let's undertake a serious mistake

Although we know that someone's
Heart will break


Hey Jake, let's make a serious mistake
And while we smile, look forward to heartache
Let's undertake a serious mistake
