Instant of the Hour After (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

That's enough out of you tonight

My darling

This show is over for now

The monkey is dead

I detest all this drunken brawling

Now let's see if you can make it

Into this bed

[Chorus]

How I love you

How I loathe you

[Verse 2]

It's a sharp, quick love I feel

My darling

But you're not as drunk as you seem

So why pretend

On your cheek, that sweet shadow falling

The pulse in your neck

How I'll know it

Right to the end

[Chorus]

How I love you

How I loathe you

[Bridge]

And all you can say is:

"Reverberating acuity"

"Lousy simile"

"Vacant majesty"

In the instant of the hour after

[Verse 3]

Well right now, it's you and me

My darling

Trapped here inside of this bottle

Drowning like flies

When the frenzy's over

We're crawling

Specimens spent and exhausted

We press to the sides

[Chorus]

How I love you

How I loathe you
