Lyrics

Well, guy in a skeleton costume
 Comes up to the guy
 In the Superman suit
 Runs through him with a broadsword!
 I flip the television off
 Bring all the bright lights up
 Turn the radio up loud
 
 I don't know why I'm so persuaded
 That if I think things through
 Long enough and hard enough
 I'll somehow get to you
 But then you came in
 And we locked eyes
 You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other
 Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall
 Quickly lit another
 Look at that
 Would you look at that
 We're throwing off sparks
 What will I do when I don't have you
 To hold onto in the dark?
 ♪
 Yes, everybody's going to need a witness
 Everybody's going to need a little backup in case the scene gets nasty
 You throw the attic window open
 And I throw myself all around you
 And night comes to Tallahassee
 
 I don't know why it's gotten harder
 To keep myself away
 Thought I'd finally beat the feeling back
 It all came back today
 And then we fell down
 And we locked arms
 We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor
 I don't mean it when I tell you
 That I don't love you anymore
 Look at that
 Would you look at that
 The way the ceiling starts to swerve
 What will I do when I don't have you?
 When I finally get what I deserve
