I am walking out in the rain
I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
I am getting no where with u
and I can't let it go and I can't get thru
the old woman
on the 3rd floor
behind the curtain
behind the door
she is listening thru the airshaft
to see how long our swan song will last
now use both hands, now use both hands
no don't close your eyes
I am writing graffiti on your body
I am drawing the story of
how hard we tried
I am watching your chest
rise and fall
like the tides of my life
and the rest of it all
and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow
and I am waiting for sleep
to conjure up the deep with both hands
and in each others shadow
we grew less and less tall
and eventually the theories
couldn't explain it all
I am recording our history now
on the bedroom wall
and when we're gone the landlord will come
and paint over it all
I am walking out in the rain
I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
I am getting no where with u
and I can't let it go and I can't get thru
now use both hands, now use both hands
no don't close your eyes
I am writing graffiti on your body
I am drawing the story of
how hard we tried
