[Verse]
N.C.
Lovely, lovely
N.C.
In your jeans, frenzy
N.C.
Another movie that I didn t watch with you
N.C.
Another movie and I m gonna have to move
N.C.
That final terror is in your house somewhere
N.C.
Hiding in boxes, behind closed doorways
N.C.
Out from the forest adjacent to your garage
N.C.
I ve seen its marks at the corner of your eyes
N.C.
Nothing works
N.C.
Nothing works for everyone
N.C.
Good stories are bad lives
N.C.
Good stories are bad lives
[Chorus]
Take your hands off your neck and hold
On to the ghost of my body
You know that good lives make bad stories
You can text me
When punching mattresses gets old
Don t think it ll always be this way
Not comforted by anything I say
We were wrecks before we crashed into each other

N.C.
Such a good idea
N.C.
If it turns you on
N.C.
We have breakdowns
N.C.
And sometimes we don t have breakdowns

N.C.
I want to hear you going psycho
N.C.
If you re going psycho I wanna hear
N.C.
Every conversation just ends with you screaming
Not even words, just ah-ah-ah-ahh, ooh ohh hey!

[Verse]
Look out, Mama, there s a white boat coming up the river
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
I think you d better call John
Because it don t look like they re here to deliver the mail
And it s less than a mile away
I hope they didn t come to stay
It s got numbers on the side and a gun
And it s making big waves

[Verse 2]
Daddy s rifle in my hand felt reassuring
He said, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothing
But when the first shot hit the docks, I saw it coming
Raised my rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black
And my face splashed in the sky
[Instrumental break]
x2
[Outro]
Don t worry
You and me won t be alone no more
Don t worry
You and me won t be alone no more
**Played until the end.** Also for those wondering... Gianni(keys)
