Lyrics
Take back the instant
When you brushed him off your shirt
You tried to drag him to the trash
You tried to trade him in for cash
Take back the instant
When you blew him off your path
With a kiss reading twenty below zero
Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go
Cold, cold moment
When the first doubt shot through your head
A black ink drip running through your veins
Start hello to drift, bringing you sleep pain
Pregnant second
Dripping through the hour-glass
When the lure of men who would be kings
Made you lose the man who was wearing your ring
He didn't match your luscious thoughts tonight
You couldn't look him in the eye
Awkward is the embrace
When it's not tight, not tight
And so the jewel you once both had
Is left crumpled like a collapsed lung
When all you had to do
Was hang out in the sun, hang out in the sun
Sir, you feel so dignified
Your watch is very ornate
But you were just born in the right place
Just born into the right race
You're climbing Mount Everest now
Granting wishes from above
Favors are yours to give
Lies are yours to live
Take back the instants
That lead you to believe
That the earth shakes 'cause you're not happy
And the sun rises 'cause you're not sleepy
You got the loudest parade in town
Clowns, assassins and crooks
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Reading extracts from your books
Beggars should trailing at the back
They're waving from the cardboard float
You're thinking that from up close
Statistics can be such a drag
Your cup is full now
Blood is the color of this wine
And it's dripping from the ceiling
And it's making the chandeliers ring
And the instant the ballroom overflows
Your thrones turn into your gallows
