( verse 1 )
D# A# G#
it starts with you on a mattress in your parents’ old room ,
D# G#
clipping your toenails into the room like the room will fade
D# Gm A#
and you will move onto other rooms , and you will go to other places .

( verse 2 )
then the wedding , then the woman passed out in the driver’s seat
at the order board at white castle .
we woke her up and she went ’round to the pick up window like she knew exactly where she was .

( verse 3 )
then i wept with my face in your night shirt , trying hard as hell to say
“until death separates us” , loosening the skin on your breastbone ,
i painted your nails and you sleep while i write all this down .

( interlude )
D# | Cm | D# G# | Gm

( chorus )
D#
there was a moth caught in the soapdish laminated in lye

( verse 4 )
when we’re on different sides of the globe , i thought we’d keep our veins tangled
like a pair of mic cables , and if there ain’t enough slack to reach
that we’d solder them together cross oceans they’d stretch .

and follow your breath until death .
now even if the will to sleep persists i can’t ’cause a harsh cloth , it grazes my blisters .

( chorus )

( interlude )

( verse 7 )
today i fell asleep in a bath of hair . hair that once sprouted from my own
white wet chalk follicles . i swallow a coal and follow my breath
and i did it with the grapefruit soap thinking of you .

( verse 8 )
bathed , shaved , and oiled , your legs are two skinny dolphins swimming
between the mattress and the layers of bedding turning in your drug dry sleep .

( verse 9 )
when i ask you to kiss my pulse you offer to start the shower .
i want a verb and you give me a noun . what do you dream up while i tongue you down?

( chorus ) x2

( outro )
#d
you know my build . you know my size .
Cm
the degree to which my eyes are astigmatic .

#d
you know my build . you know my size .
G# Gm
the degree to which my eyes are astigmatic .
