Laments of a Mattress (feat. Frances Quinlan)

(Wha-at? Fuck you, I'm walking out. It's my apartment.) Green striped sheets left dead for me Now I am free to bury heavy bodies Once we three had slept soundly But I couldn't keep them around Fold the blankets down And found new sleeping grounds As springs squeaking Tires squealing away from one another We all used to be lovers Here bodies playing, slay them, stay like them, boxes stacked Same way, labeled and separated, hey Go ahead take the couch I know I don't wanna sit here next to nobody Go ahead take the fridge, I know I don't want you going hungry Go ahead take the cat, I know you're only gonna be coming back Oh go ahead take it all, I know how you've been wanting to Settle down, down, down Oh-hoo, has it always been settling down? Down, down The one on the left says to the one on the right "I could make a very good wife for you" The one on the right says to the one on the left "Let's take this one step at a time" The one on the right says to the one on the left "You know, I need you all the time" The on the left says to the one on the right "I think I changed my mind" I can't help but think my insides have to sing They're the waking, the better of me And my insides have to sing A song for the sad ones who say they'll marry, they guess She's wearing a white dress, if he behaves his very best Songs for the sad ones who say they'll marry, they guess She's wearing a white dress, if he behaves his very best Songs for the sad ones who say they'll marry, they guess She's wearing a white dress, if he behaves his very best Songs for the sad ones who say they'll marry, they guess She's wearing a white dress, if he behaves his very best That's yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes Go ahead take the couch I know I don't wanna sit here next to nobody Go ahead take the fridge, I know I don't want you going hungry Go ahead take the cat, I know you're only gonna be coming back So go ahead, take it all I know how you've been- you've been wanting to all this time Settle down, has it always been settling down, down? My laugh but she won't spring They will tell you everything if you lay down for a minute Oh, my laugh but she won't spring They will tell you everything if you lay down for a minute The mattress-maker's making his living by the minute, by the minute The mattress-maker's making his living by the minute, by the minute By the minute The mattress-maker's making his living by the minute, by the minute The mattress-maker's making his living by the minute, by the minute Oh, go ahead
