A Litany / Heart Swells

[Verse 1]

A stack of words in my throat, a trail of slime

Forehead on fruit machine, three bells won't chime

For lovers who line the beach, whom moon entertains

Theirs always waxing while our crescent wanes

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

[Verse 2]

Outside a chicken shop, a ceiling of stars

A nostril of Diet Coke, I'm back in your arms

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

Now, I feel the misery in your breast and mine

Is one and the same and I feel close to fine

[Chorus]

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

Your hand is on the pen but you can't sign the pact

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

[Bridge]

Heart swells, ah-ah

Heart swеlls, ah-ah

Heart swells, ah-ah

Heart swеlls, ah-ah

[Chorus]

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

Your hand is on the pen but you don't sign the pact

I'm shouting out a litany, an echo calls back

(Seriously wh-)
