Jersey Water - Notes on Dark Victory Lyrics




Well I once wrote letters with my nails painted black
Addressed to my inside center prince
Don't you feel so strange living inside your body
Haunting you as it changes its shape

And I once wrote poems in the style of my peers
A year of stolen couplets walking in their sleep
Don't you feel so alone at the bottom of the river
Hanging in Challenger Deep
Hanging in the quad
Hanging down the hall
Hanging for once and for all

Oh I've seen that movie
Where Bette Davis falls to her feet
And cries out, What we have can't be destroyed
I should know you by now

Well I once wrote short stories about a past I never lived
Now I'm trying to make a living in the daytime
Don't you feel like that leaf at the mercy of the wind
Dancing with no one to lead
Dancing to my bed
Dancing down the hall
Dancing the tour jeté most of all

Oh I've seen that movie
The one where I'm chained to your tree
And I sing, Falling in love's just a waste of time
Won't you know me by now

The dogs of Mount Charleston are howling in this guardian night
To this guardian moon
Shirtless, hungover, a pale blue Gatorade
A skull necklace where there once hung a cross
You held me last summer
Our sweat sweet from liquor
We danced at the rave
And to all we'd lost
Baby blue
