We saw the western coast

I saw the hospital

Nursed the shoreline like a wound

Reports of lovers trysts

Were neither clear nor descript

We kept it safe and slow

The quiet things that no one ever knows

So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

If today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop out

Gave up my body and bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

If today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop out

Gave up my body and bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I contemplate the day we wed

Your friends are boring me to death

Your veil is ruined in the rain

By then you I can do without

There's nothing new to talk about

And though our kids are blessed

Their parents let them shoulder all the blame

So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

If today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop out

Gave up my body and bed

all for an empty hotel

Wasting my words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

If today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop out

Gave up my body and bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I lie for only you

And I lie well

Hallelujah

I lie for only you

And I lie well

Hallelujah

So keep the blood in your head

(I lie for only you)

And keep your feet on the ground

If today's the day it gets tired
