Lilacs

I wake up feeling nothing

Camouflage the wavering sky

I sit at my piano

Wander the wild whereby

And the lilacs drink the water

And the lilacs die

And the lilacs drink the water

Marking the slow slow slow passing of time

I get so angry, baby

At something you might say

I dream about an awful stranger

Work my way through the day

I run it like a silent movie

I run it like a violent song

Run it like a voice compelling

So right it can't be wrong

If I'm a broken record, write it in the dust, babe

I'll fill myself back up like I used to do

And if my bones are made of delicate sugar

I won't end up anywhere good without you

Ooh

I need your love too

When I live a sparse existence

I'll drop down in the fold

Lean in to an urgent falter

Spin silence into gold

I run it like the crop of kismet

I run it like a dilettante

I run it like I'm happy, baby

Like I got everything I want

If I'm a broken record, write it in the dust, babe

I'll fill myself back up like I used to do

And if my bones are made of delicate sugar

I won't end up anywhere good without you

I won't end up anywhere good without you

Ooh

I need your love too

And the lilacs drink the water

And the lilacs drink the water

And the lilacs drink the water
