One & Only

Met you in your shadowed dark Absinthe bar You shaved your head It left a scar We bunkered down Windowless room Our hateful sex I love, you lose You bathed me Laid me down, clean sheets We took half of that blue pill each Our vacant dates Carnival shows That Ferris wheel Our highest low I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your neck Instead I believed you when you said that we were back to back And I've never been one to ask for a hand Never been one to take what was given Never seen love so cold and undressed Never lived life so lifeless Oh, my one and only Only leaves me lonely Only leaves me lonely Oh, if I could only Leave my one and only Read all of your movie scripts with murder scenes Familiar faces, all I see My happy made you sad and sly Your honest made me beg for lies A temper tantrum's bloated world Staccato man, limber girl The rippling wolves The paper moon The dial tone The dancer's doomed And I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your throat Instead I believed you when you said you still had hope And I've never been one to ask for a hand Never been one to take what was given Never seen love so cold and undressed Never lived life so lifeless Oh, my one and only Only leaves me lonely Only leaves me lonely Oh, if I could only Leave my one and only Your creepy creature My bloodless heart You fill me up My shadowed dark I love you like I love myself Like no one, like nobody else I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your neck Instead I believed you when you said that we were back to back Now I've never been one to ask for a hand Never been one to take what was given Never seen love so cold and undressed Never lived life so lifeless Oh, my one and only Only leaves me lonely Only leaves me lonely Oh, if I could only Leave my one and only
