Postman delivered
A past due bill notice
The alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate
And this morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
And I opened the door on my knee
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Last night you came home late
I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought, "It don't matter
'Cause it's the holiday season"
And you fill such a big empty space
And I laid down beside you
And I wanted your lovin'
'Cause your love makes my life complete
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
So excuse me for lookin'
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for lookin'
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for lovin'
Being forgiving
Just go on if you wanna be free
The last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Oh, the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

for real

Some nights I thirst for real blood,
For real knives, for real cries.
And then the flash of steel from real guns
In real life really fills my mind.
I really miss what really did exist
When I held your throat so tight.
And I miss the bus as it swerved from us
Almost came crashing to its side.
Some nights the blood from real cuts
Feels real nice when it's really mine.
And if you want it to be real,
Come over for one night,
And we can really, really climb.
Those blue bridge lights
Might really burn most bright
While we watch that dark lake rise.
And if you really want to see
What really matters most to me,
Just take a real short drive.
It's just a drive into the dark stretch,
Long stretch of night,
Really stretch this shaking mind.
And this room, unlit, unheated,
And the ceiling striped,
And the dark black blinds..
.
I want to know this time
If you're really finally mine
I need to know that you're not lying,
So I want to see you tried.
And I don't want to hear you say
It shouldn't really be this way,
Because I like this way just fine.
Cause there's nothing quite like
The blinding light
That curtains cast aside,
And no attempt is made to explain away
Things that really, really, really really really are behind.
some nights i thirst
for real
