Coz even when you win, you lose
In the kitchens of strangers - quarters on your tongue
I'm totally frightened; I'm frenzied and dumb
I'm a pillar of salt
When everyone that I grew up with is everyone I love
But nothing doesn't glisten;
Nothing doesn't take me in
And I, I can't stay here with my ghost
I'm too easy; I'm too easy
I'll fall down; I'll fall down on my sword, again.
Try to keep the future pretty; my to get ahead
But I'm standing on the table holding Romi's little hand
With the crocodile waiting for us, just around the bend
I'm running through the houses with a lightbulb in my brain
I want to ballerina through the city; I want the sun to stay down for days
But nothing doesn't glisten;
Nothing doesn't take me in
And I, I can't stay here with my ghost
I'm too easy; I'm too easy
I'll fall down; I'll fall down on my sword
And I, I can't stay here with my ghost
I'm too easy; I'm too easy
I'll fall down; I'll fall down on my sword, again.
