In This Decade

[Verse 1] When your girl is miserable And there's not a thing that you can do But you could fuel a spirit lamp with her daydreams And it would burn all night through When the mountain falls to the ocean And the cave into the sea I'll be here if you need me, babe I just want you to be free-e-ee [Chorus] Ooh, ooh [Verse 2] I take a long and slow breath stroke In the womb of Mary Magdalene Start my days as I mean to go on Covered head to toe in my sins See the cigarettes cast to the floor Like pennies to a wishing well I lay here and I think about the questions My mind forces me to dwell, oh-ho [Chorus] Ooh, ooh [Verse 3] Won't you lay down beside me now At the end of your day For I fear my scars have begun to shiver Every time that I call your name Ah, c'mon babe Come on and make my day I'm through with chasing the challis I've exhausted every way [Chorus] Ooh, ooh [Verse 4] There's a raven at my window sill There's a raven at my door I wish the cars hissing at my window Were the sea lapping at the shore [Verse 5] You've got to take your baby now You've got to take her slow For in this decade, there's no knowing If there's gonna be a tomorrow For in this decade, there's no knowing If there's gonna be a tomorrow [Chorus] Ooh, ooh Ooh
