How Did It End? (Live from Stockholm)

[Intro]

Uh-oh, uh-oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah

[Verse 1]

We hereby conduct this post-mortem

He was a hot house flower to my outdoorsman

Our maladies were such we could not cure them

And so a touch that was my birthright became foreign

[Chorus]

Come one, come all, it's happenin' again

The empathetic hunger descends

We'll tell no one except all of our friends

We must know

How did it end?

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah

[Verse 2]

We were blind to unforeseen circumstances

We learned thе right steps to different dancеs

And fell victim to interlopers' glances

Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?

And, soon, they'll go home to their husbands

Smug 'cause they know they can trust him

Then feverishly calling their cousins

[Chorus]

"Guess who we ran into at the shops?

Walking in circles like she was lost

Didn't you hear? They called it all off"

One gasp and then

"How did it end?"

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah

[Bridge]

Say it once again with feeling

How the death rattle breathing

Silenced as the soul was leaving

The deflation of our dreaming

Leaving me bereft and reeling

My beloved ghost and me

Sitting in a tree

D-Y-I-N-G

[Pre-Chorus]

It's happenin' again

How did it end?

I can't pretend like I understand

How did it end?

[Chorus]

Come one, come all, it's happenin' again

The empathetic hunger descends

We'll tell no one except all of our friends

But I still don't know

How did it end?
