"Cardinal Song" lyrics
"Cardinal Song"
Never look her in the eyes
Never tell the truth
If she knows you're paper
You know she'll have to burn you
Never tell the one you want that you do
Save it for the deathbed
When you know you kept her wanting you
And do everything she'd never do
Fall asleep with stranger's wives
The wild wives of unknown men
Good for you, you've just become
Just another one of them
Never say you miss her
Never say a word
And do everything she'd never do
Don't let her see your cardinal eyes
Let her treat you like a criminal
So you can treat her like a priest
Girls forgive my human mind
Girls forgive me one more time
Never tell the one you love that you do
Save it for the deathbed
And do everything she'd never do
Don't let her see your cardinal eyes
Don't let her see your cardinal eyes
Jesus Christ you have confused me
Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
Forgive me girls I am confused
Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
Jesus Christ you have confused me
Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
Forgive me girls I am confused
Stiff and pissed and lost and loose

Leap from the sill, see where we land
We had so many plans
Safe from the wind, head in the sand
And we had so many friends
This had to end, it had to end
And we had so many...
Mazzy Star - "Into Dust" Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
Around, broken in two
Till your eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
Till my hand shook
With the weight of fear...
Villagers - "Nothing Arrived" Savanna scatters and the seabird sings
So why should we fear what travel brings?
What were we hoping to get out of this?
Some kind of momentary bliss?
I waited for something, but something died
So I...
Strand Of Oaks - "Weird Ways" I, I don't feel it anymore
Somehow I see clearer than before
I hold on to the bastion of light
I turn my back to the meaning of life
The scene isn't my scene anymore
I dug too deep and was crawling...
The Hold Steady - "Killer Parties" If they ask about Charlemagne
Be polite and say something vague
Like another lover lost to the restaurant raids
And if they ask why we left in the first place
Say we were young and we were so...
