lyrics

Well, I held a million dollars to an open flame, an open wound
I choked on every toxin I calcined
Then I burned my own two hands in this
And sure enough, I choked again
I tired out, so promptly, I declined

I am embarrassed for myself and all those childish things I did
It was a blur to me, ’cause she was seventeen, and I was just a kid
And so we’ll take our vows and all those precious things we had in mind
And we will throw them out the window
Yes, we will throw them out the window

And we’ll take back every solace, every whim, and every plan
I could cross myself, swear up and down I’m never doing this again
And it will serve as a reminder of the havoc I had wreaked
And I was wrong, how I was wrong

But if, in fact, she’s leaving, I’ve got nowhere left to turn
I’m serious, I must be headed somewhere (somewhere)
Or I will stare and watch the vast array of colors that appear for all my life
And just kill time

Well, I had a million dollars once
I had a big name
A fortune at my feet, one might say
As if I’d won the chance, the lottery
And true to form, I am feigning new excuses each and every day

How I slept soundly for the first time since my lover had my throat
I’ve sacrificed that lassitude, I know
And if I’m forced to step aside, well then to hell with all of you
I am done, well done
