lyrics

You were careful to fasten the top lock
rub your cigarettes out on the sidewalk
I took care not to rumple the napkins
keep the glass bottles out of the trash cans

I made sure to unplug all the outlets
Save a couple of bucks when the month ends
Sweep the loose leaves away from the pavement
Make every payment a day in advance

And then we danced
To a measured drum
You kicked your heels up
on the linoleum
I swung you over
the countertops
You said don't stop, my love, till the hands of the clock
cross underneath each other, to end up as one

You put back all the toys in the closet
Smoothed the comforter out on the guest bed
I made sure that no windows were open
It would be such a shame if they broke in

As we left, I turned back just to look and
make sure the welcome mat wasn't crooked
Then we let the door fall shut behind us
No one will find us, we'll be miles away

And then we lay
Our burdens down
You spilled the fluid
into the ground
I flicked the lighter
and watched it catch
Backed out the driveway
slamming on the gas
And from the corners
of our white eyes
We saw the tide arise, sweeping underneath our tires
to swallow up the squalid lovers that brought it to life
