Lady future’s arms are lily white

They stretch before you come inside

There’s room enough, she’s generous

Come on, come up, while we’re still young

You want to love your life from a prison?

Of all this uninvited altruism

The homemade weapons you’re fashioning

Are hellbent on doing us both in

You never mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

You better mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

Let’s begin at the beginning

Let us revisit the past

Like when the houselights are dimming

Like silver screen photograph

It makes a beautiful sound

When nobody else is around

It has a wonderful way

Of eating up entire days

We’ll go swimming in libations

Forgive unexplained lacerations

The otherworldly manifestations

I could live in the breath you’re wasting

You never mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

You never mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

You better mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between here

We go over again beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated let’s wash our hands

Of everything

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

You don’t owe them anything

No, you don’t owe them anything

No, you don’t owe them anything

You never mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it

You never mean what you say

Why don’t you say what you mean?

I never get anywhere

I get the space in between

Beautifully mutilated

Instantly antiquated

I will admit I almost always underestimate it
