The Mechanism of All Temporary Things

I've got a lion in my bag And I'm bleeding in my pocket I gotta rearrange my debts To think of what I need To stick it in and lock it You lay heavy on my heart If this would meant to end I'dve known it from the start Love as smoky as a gun Will take us one by one 'Till the end of the show And you can say it's alright You can say it's alright You can say it's alright But I linger on doubts instead And it's breaking my heart I've got a lion in my bag And I'm terrified to know it I am as dumb as you may be Whenever you insist To cut me out and blow it You lay heavy on the sheets I catch you every time You're falling in repeat Piercing holes into my soul Like I'm your voodoo doll Just for keeping you whole And you can say it's alright You can say it's alright You can say it's alright But the getting gets tough instead And it's breaking my heart And you can say it's alright You can say it's alright And you can say it's alright You can say it's alright You can say it's alright You can say it's alright And you can say it's alright You can say it's alright And you can say it's alright You can say it's alright Can't you see, can't you see Can't you see, can't you see Can't you see that you're breaking my heart
