Besides She Said

To Kill a King

But who will know my secrets now
Oh depart, disarm me with your blade
Let me walk the masses trade in all serenity
I suffer, you suffer in kindness
There's a box to sober you up
When you're drunk on the memory of me, disease
On a day like today of all days, remember
I'm not dead, I just went away

"Besides," she said outside the tent
"They are playing our song"
We're bent, we're broke, we're leaning on each other
Duffled and drunk and the fumes billowing out
And the city seems so distant, so goodnight
Goodnight

Who'll phone the doc when I'm sick?
Give in to grins, answer only patient questions
I'm sick of answering, that's my sickness
Last of the garden gazers
You've been living in the past too long
It's unhealthy oh but it's safe child, it's safe
These are just fleeting moments
Pick the ones you like and hold on, hold on

"Besides," she said outside the tent
"They are playing our song"
We're bent, we're broke, we're leaning on each other
Duffled and drunk and the fumes billowing out
And the city seems so distant
"And besides," she said
"We got time left, we're only half dead
We're only half dead," so goodnight
Goodnight

Fall apart baby
We'll just fall apart, fall apart
