"Went To The Store" lyrics
"Went To The Store"
We met in a parking lot
I was buying coffee and cigarettes
Firewood and bad wine long since gone
But I'm still drunk and hot
Wide awake and breathing hard
And now in just one year's time
I've become jealous, rail-thin, prone to paranoia when I'm stoned
This isn't true love someone ought to put me in a home
Say, do you wanna get married?
And put an end to our endless, progressive tendency to scorn
Provincial concepts like your dowry and your Daddy's farm
For love to find us of all people
I never thought it'd be so simple
Let's buy a plantation house
And let the yard grow wild 'til we don't need the signs that say "KEEP OUT"
I've got some money left it's cheaper in the south
I need someone I can trust
To protect me from our seven daughters when my body says, "Enough"
I'll save the Big One for the last time we make love
I guess, insert here:
A sentiment re: Our Golden Years
All 'cause I went to the store one day
"I've seen you around
What's your name?"

Now it's time I get to going
Now...
The Magnetic Fields - "The Book Of Love" The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures

The Lemon Twigs - "Corner Of My Eye" I've got a wonderful feeling
That's ripe for being wrong
Lately the Lord's got me kneeling

All my moments are the same when...
Angel Olsen - "Never Be Mine" Coming from an endless place
Heaven hits me when I see your face
I go blind, every time
Hate to have to watch you go

Sufjan Stevens - "To Be Alone With You" I'd swim across Lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
You...
