The Oblivion

DeVotchka


Oh, it's hard to resist 
On a night like this 
Impossible to withstand 
When you're holding my heart in your hand 
You can lay down wherever you please 
Under the moon cloud masterpeice 
Let our conscience be devoured 
By the sweetness of the hour 
Lead me down your primrose path 
And give me life and take some back 
Oh, how I love that song 
Will you play it again 
Pour all your blue tides on 
Your several so-called friends 
Our love is sweeter than the oblivion 

Now I know you got your mind 
Set on somebody else 
I was gonna let you down 
I ain't kidding myself 
Oh, how I paid for past mistakes 
How blessed is the flesh that breaks 
Now are you wide awake 
Just one more time for old times sake 
Lead me down your primrose path 
And give me life and take some back 
Oh, how I love that song 
Will you sing it again 
Pour all your blue tides on 
Your several so-called friends 
Our love is bigger than the oblivion
Amen, amen
