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
