Eleanor Friedberger - Your Word Lyrics

She came to me in deep distress
Torn with jealousy and rage
He said he'd never love her
Wouldn't mind someone her age

You don't love him, no, you hate him
Then she called me a fool
You know nothing about cruelty
Then he sees he's being cruel

What you see is the end
Your breath is the bound, oh no
When your word isn't there
Your word is your own

She dreamt she took off both her ears
Put them in the sand and walked away
Across a seven story cactus
Cast in gold and swept away
A million pounds of pure beauty
Measured only by those who see

What you see is the end
Your breath is the bound, oh no
When your word isn't there
Your word is your
When your life is just that
What you say is what's real
No no
Cause your breath is the bound
Your word is your one
Your word
Uhh uhh uhh uh
