'95: A Serious Mistake - The Magnetic Fields

Although we know that someone’s heart will break

Hey Jake, let’s make a serious mistake

And while we smile, look forward to heartache

Let’s undertake a serious mistake

Which one of us will it be

To end this tale of misery?

When will this comedy turn sour?

A year, a month, a week, an hour?

All we can be sure of is it will

All good things come to bad ends

But still

Although we know that someone’s heart will break

Hey Jake, let’s make a serious mistake

And while we smile, look forward to heartache

Let’s undertake a serious mistake

Although we know that someone’s heart will break

Hey Jake, let’s make a serious mistake

And while we smile, look forward to heartache

Let’s undertake a serious mistake
