Murder By Death - No Matter Now Lyrics

Murder By Death Lyrics

"No Matter Now"

She rode in unrestrained
Licked her finger, tamped the flame
Her coat wrapped tight around her neck
A fleck of color peeking out above her breast

There was no string attached, ooh, yeah
The gate was left unlatched
The ribbon on her neck
Cinched, poised for attack
The papers piled up in stacks
Her favorite coffee cup had cracked
Her bags still left unpacked
No matter now
No matter now

A piece of me
Hangs from the ribbon on that tree
My only chance fleeting
The girl attached apparently
Sunlight like gold
Illuminates the road
As the the trash men bang the lids
And strays hunker in the cold

There was no string attached
The gate was left unlatched
The ribbon on her neck
Cinched, poised for attack
Love like an albatross
Worth it at any cost
What's sought is never lost
No matter now

Eyes full of pepper spray
Turned, went the other way
Threw the books down from the shelves
Pointed the finger at myself
I walked into the smoke
I staggered and I broke
Do you see how?
No matter now

No matter now
No matter now
No matter now
No matter now (No matter now)
No matter now (No matter now)
No matter now (No matter now)
No matter now (No matter now)
