Put the kids to bed, I need you to lie beside me
Remind me that I'm dead
The guest room, two spools of thread, I hide the needle
Behind the bed with my garter belt
And my cigarette
Well, while the little one's asleep, I need you to tell me lies
To fill my uninspired mind, oh
When we were young we said one day
Honey, you and I, we're gonna share the grave
I didn't know it would come so soon
No, I didn't know it would come so soon
The feeling in my belly of living with but not loving you
It keeps me longer at the corner store
Smilin' out of necessity, just showin' teeth
To keep the peace, workin' out
To induce sleep, so
As I happily avoid you
When we were young we said one day
Honey, you and I, we're gonna share a grave
I didn't know it would come so soon
No, I didn't know it would come so soon
