Doldrums

We are always in the evening

There'll be life after death for you but not for me

Little deaths make little lives forget themselves

And pilgrimage can bring no honesty

Oh I don't know why

Oh I broke you down

Oh I don't know why

Oh I broke you down again

Meet me in the doldrums for a while

I'll let it take me over

I'll meet you in the doldrums

I've got to get rid of everything I own

Meet me in the doldrums

You and I were made to take this over

I'll meet you in the doldrums

I've got to get rid of everything I know

I tried to let it come to me

I washed away my house built on the rocks

Mother Russia's stories gave me company

Innocence weighs heavy at its loss

Oh I don't know why

Oh I broke you down

Oh I don't know why

Oh I broke you down again

Meet me in the doldrums for a while

I'll let it take me over

I'll meet you in the doldrums

I've got to get rid of everything I own

Meet me in the doldrums

You and I were made to take this over

I'll meet you in the doldrums

I've got to get rid of everything I know

We're like twins in the womb and I can't destroy you

When we're born to be dust from the start

With or without you to decide
