You see she has no ceiling
When the dead collect the dead
She suffocates the sirens vagrant around his bed
Sleeping in the water
She tells him to come down and carry her away from here
Before the river drowns
He told her he found dragons and bullets in his head
When she pulled back the curtain
There was a feather in his hat
And a ruby in their voices
They slept in holy shrouds
She used to sell him anything
Before the river drowned
You're the girl I do adore
And underneath this coral arch
I’ve known you times before he punches his head in protest
When Napoleon dreams wet
She cut away the fat with a strand of her hair bleach red
And laid him down on cassettes with carousel and crown
They wove goodbye to the caravan
Before the river drowned
(chorus)
The clocks keep our eyes fixed
On the game they play with hands toss a coin
A cup of ashes and proceed to far off lands
Where we built a dream from nothing
But a whisper from the ground
And a laughing matchless accident
Before the river drowned
You're the girl I do adore
And underneath this coral arch
I’ve known you times before
