You & Me & A High Balcony

[Intro]

2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]

Clean slate, warm weather

They should tie our ankles both together

Seagulls calling to one another

If a stranger should ask you, you can tell him I'm your brother

Lean into me, press real hard

I got no good reasons left not to let down my guard

I love your kiss

But it's going to come down to this

[Chorus 1]

You and me and a high balcony

And professional wrestling on pay-per-view

Windows in light and the radio blaring all night

And the truth slowly dawning on me and then on you

[Verse 2]

Let's pretend we're all alone

Let's unplug the telephone

Our scale doesn't slide

Here comes tonight, hey, open wide

Don't blink, don't try too hard not to

Just rehearse the alibis your father taught you

See the plastic coating on the windows blister

Anybody asks you, tell them you're my sister

[Chorus 2]

Yeah, you and me and a table set for three

Just in case our assassin should finally come through

Anhydrous and matches, why don't we cook up two more batches?

With the time closing in on me and then on you
