lyrics

“It was only an accident,” she whispered;
then stood and walked barefoot to the cabinet where I kept the liquor
I wasn’t sure if she expected me to laugh or forgive her
Or maybe just go join her by the booze
I watched her like that, from behind, for a while
Watched her pull down my bottle of Conquistador
I got up and made it as far as the first few cool white tiles
when last night hit the bathroom floor
She took a glass, gave herself a pour

And the pains arrived, as the morning came crashing down, anew
In a city of the dead, a living man must find a private tomb

I got to counting all my trespasses and all my crimes
From the microscopically mischievous to the majestically malign
And unto each, some loathsome burden I’d assign
As though my pain might ease the truth
She lay naked on the bed with a drink in her hand
Turned on the early news
Traffic was backed up all the way to Interstate-90
They were flying in additional emergency crews
Authorities were still looking for clues

And my aches aligned, as the sunshine came tearing through
In this city of the dead, there’s precious little left to lose

And our suffering combined, as daylight flooded the filthy room
In the city of the dead, the corpses, my friend, are not the doomed
