Okay, it's your ride.
Get your petals out and lay them in the aisle.
Pretend your garden grows,
And it's your own day to wed
We've found your man.
He's drinking up. He’s all-American,
and he'll drive.
He's volunteered with grace to end your life
and tidy up.
It's sad to hope, but leave your shell to us
You explode, you firefly, you tiny boat with oars,
Feather oars
The world tilts back and pours and pours,
And so, you satellite, you tidal wave,
Your big surprise
And I've one more night to be your mother.
This signal interrupts
Baby's frequency not strong enough
Remain, my hands are tied.
We will miss you but in time you'll get settled
And we will write
Your beauty supreme.
Yeah, you were right about me.
But can I get myself out from underneath
This guilt that will crush me?
And in the choir I saw our sad Messiah.
He was bored and tired of my laments.
Said, "I died for you one time, but never again"
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again... (continues in the background)
But I love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Well I love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
One'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Two'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Three'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Four'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Five'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply,
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Six will love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Seven loves you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
Seven loves you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.

(We'll never have to buy adjacent plots of earth
We'll never have to rot together under the dirt
I'll never have to lose my baby in the crowd
I should be laughing right now)
