I have widowed every woman
From the waitress to the queen
Been in and out of wedlocks
With an exoskeleton key
I may perish unwept
But at least I'll never swing
I ain't in your crystal ball
You won't remember me
But you'll remember our song
You got premonitions
Talked to spirits, they approved
That just might mean you're lying
Or them spirits lied to you
Nothing more is perfect
Yeah, but nothing less will do
I ain't in your crystal ball
You looked at what the light shined on
Not where it's shining from, didn't you?
You find what you need only
When you need to find it
Yea, I did it too
I knew I was alive because
I used to want to die but not anymore
Now I'm trying to be
But old hearts won't let me sleep
I hear them in the floor
Standing at the altar
With your leather jacket on
Fucked up on some new pills
Got you feeling twenty-one
My friends are always pissed off
All your friends dance just for fun
I ain't in your crystal ball
I won't be here for that hangover
But I'll come running to raise a glass
Where'd I get my nerve?
I thought you'd never ask
We clean the slate just to write mistakes
An old flame you can't blow out
You filled the cup, you picked me up
Now you've got to put me down
