Gyroscope (The Dismemberment Plan)

She's wearing too much lipstick tonight A little black dress a little too tight Tries to make small talk but it drips with spite She knows that he's coming; it's really all right Nobody here could know how she feels Not getting drunk and she hates wearing heels She tries to stand, but the room seems to bend and reel Her friends all keep asking why can't she just deal If she spins fast enough than maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together But any gyroscope can't spin forever, yea If she spins fast enough than maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together But any gyroscope can't spin forever He says it's over and it's such a release It's finally happened and he's making his peace All the reminders don't bother him in the least The Jekyll and Hyde shit will finally cease His eyes on fire and his hands kind of shake Like his voice is ready to break You kind of wonder how long this boy's been awake Or how much less sense one person can make If he spins fast enough than maybe the broken pieces of his heart will stay together But any gyroscope can't spin forever, yea If he spins fast enough than maybe the broken pieces of his heart will stay together But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yea Happiness is such hard work, and it gets harder every day And it can kill you, but no one wants to be that tacky about it If you spin fast enough than maybe the broken pieces of your heart will stay together But some things I've seen lately make me doubt it.
