We saw the western coast 
 I saw the hospital 
 Nurse 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 
    Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground 
 Today's the day it gets tired 
 Then today's the day we drop down 
 Give up my body in bed 
 All for an empty hotel 
 Wasting words on lowercases and capitals 
 Keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground 
 Today's the day it gets tired 
 Then today's the day we drop down 
 Give up my body in bed 
 All for an empty hotel 
 Wasting words on lowercases and capitals   
 I contemplate the day we wed 
 Your friends are boring me to death 
 Your veil is ruined in the rain   
 By then you like to do without 
 There's nothing new to talk about 
 And though our kids are blessed 
 the parents let them shoulder all the blame   
 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 down 
 Give up my body in bed 
 All for an empty hotel 
 Wasting words on lowercases and capitals 
 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 down 
 Give up my body in bed 
 All for an empty hotel 
 Wasting words on lowercases and capitals   
 I lie for only you 
 And I lie well 
 Halleluh   
 I lie for only you 
 And I lie well 
 Halleluh   
 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 down 
 Give up my body in bed 
 All for an empty hotel 
 Wasting words on lowercases and capitals 
 (I lie for only you 
 And I lie well 
 Halleluh) 
 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 down 
 Give up my body in bed 
 All for an empty hotel 
 Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
