Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Greasy jungle, metropolis noir
Easy tangles, the easiest so far
[Verse 2]
Ah
Ah
[Verse 3]
I drove down your road
Hazeldean where I tasted
Your funeral home's
Sandwiches and coffee
I saw your hands melt
Into one another
I saw you grieve and grow
Care a lot about one another
[Verse 4]
I stood at your sink
And I felt your warm water
I washed your dishes
And I looked out your kitchen window
Where I saw a soulful
Gymnast melt in the air and shudder
Just above the snow
Makin' moves that just weren't there
[Verse 5]
Ah
Ah
[Verse 6]
Every callow
With wet hands, I turned out the lights
And breathing shallow
Hesitated, then went upstairs
Where I picked up your housecoat
Dried my hands and touched your hair
And just then you awoke
You could never really barely care
[Verse 7]
Ah
Ah
Ah
[Verse 8]
Greasy jungle, metropolis noir
Listen to dark
