lyrics

We lied outright to each other
You know they were good good lies
You played to my flea market honour
And I played to your pawn shop surprise
Your outrage at my sad behaviour
Undone by my outrageous lines
But you stopped in the rain
Just to hear them again
To use them for your own designs

Then came the clutch and desire
The arrows hell-bent on their mark
Your kisses set me afire
And we burned full of holes in the dark
And when it was done we were laughing
When it was done we were scared
When it was done it was obvious
One of us hated that one of us cared
