The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

  • We saw the western coast
  • I saw the hospital
  • Nursed the shoreline like a wound
  • Reports of lover's tryst
  • Were neither clear nor descript
  • We kept it safe and slow
  • The quiet things that no one ever knows
  • So keep the blood in your head
  • And keep your feet on the ground
  • If today's the day it gets tired
  • Today's the day we drop out
  • Gave up my body and bed
  • All for an empty hotel
  • Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
  • So keep the blood in your head
  • And keep your feet on the ground
  • If today's the day it gets tired
  • Today's the day we drop out
  • Gave up my body and bed
  • All for an empty hotel
  • Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
  • I contemplate the day we wed
  • Your friends are boring me to death
  • Your veil is ruined in the rain
  • By then it's you I can do without
  • There's nothing new to talk about
  • And though our kids are blessed
  • Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
  • So keep the blood in your head
  • And keep your feet on the ground
  • If today's the day it gets tired
  • Today's the day we drop out
  • Gave up my body and bed
  • All for an empty hotel
  • Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
  • So keep the blood in your head
  • And keep your feet on the ground
  • If today's the day it gets tired
  • Today's the day we drop out
  • Gave up my body and bed
  • All for an empty hotel
  • Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
  • I lie for only you
  • And I lie well...
  • Hallelu...
  • I lie for only you
  • And I lie well...
  • Hallelu...
  • So keep the blood in your head
  • And keep your feet on the ground
  • Today's the day it gets tired
  • Today's the day we drop out
  • Gave up my body and bed
  • All for an empty hotel
  • Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
  • So keep the blood in your head
  • And keep your feet on the ground
  • Today's the day it gets tired
  • Today's the day we drop out
  • Gave up my body and bed
  • All for an empty hotel
  • Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
