Another Mausoleum

Dry the droplets of the universe streaming down your face
 If you're ready, come and get me, swaddled in burlap and lace
 And while the town is falling down, I genuflect at your feet
 And chase the stars through hallowed halls, then sweetly go to sleep
 The way you talk keeps your tongue from healing
 Your barbed wire ears to guard against hurt feelings
 Your family don't call and you barely see them
 Every night we're sealing up another mausoleum
 The boulevard of burned out stars, spotlight a dear out on the lane
 Another lover runs for cover, barefoot in the rain
 Shouting from a mountain with echoes chasing home
 Throw your feelings at the ceiling, fall back like a stone
 The way you talk keeps your tongue from healing
 Your barbed wire ears to guard against hurt feelings
 Your family don't call and you barely see them
 Every night we're sealing up another mausoleum
 And so, I really want you to know
 If you're ready, come and get me
 And so, I really want you to know
 I'm waiting where you left me, right here beside the levee
 If you're ready, come and get me
 We'll keep each other steady
 A trillion treasons give no reason, leave the cards where they lay
 We deliver all the slivers, put them back into place
 If you're drowning in a fountain with expectations unmet
 Then we'll throw a bean into the sea and wash away our regrets
 Just let our feet get wet under an East coast sunset
 The way you talk keeps your tongue from healing
 Your barbed wire ears to guard against hurt feelings
 Your family don't call and you barely see them
 Every night we're sealing up another mausoleum
