Further North

A week long and bent

My body half-dead

But that look you give

Could keep me feeling alright

When you're sitting at the bar

In the morning, full of stars

You look like a bitter-

Hearted divorcee

With your menthol cigarettes

Alcoholic coffee drinks

Mopping up a morning

Lost to lust

Blue Rodeo

On the radio

Roping love-lost tears

Down your face

And sad, jealous eyes

Of sad drunken guys

Checking my

Every move

Oh, come on baby

Come on, one more time

There's seconds left

They're only yours and mine

I step outside the door

To the morning full of stars

And streetlights

Pissing in the snow

I'm leaving love behind

For the last fucking time

And I'm never talking

To any of your kind again

Oh, Beverly

You crept up on me this time

A sneak attack

A two verse lullabye

Oh, Beverly

You crept up on me this time

A sneak attack

A two verse lullabye

I'm leaving town

I'm walking out tonight

I'm going further north

To go and hide

Away from any sort of love

I'll build a life

Out of loneliness

And lust

And what little's left of pride

I'm leaving town

I'm walking out tonight

I'm going further north

To go and hide

I'm leaving town

I'm walking out tonight

I'm going further north...
