The Magnetic Fields - '95: A Serious Mistake Lyrics

The Magnetic Fields Lyrics

"'95: 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

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
