Taking In The World (As it's falling apart)

When the deal goes down it’ll be written upon it:

‘here are the overlooked clues from an unsolved whodunnit’.

At the end of the book someone has scribbled in the margin

‘there is a no currency now, with which you can bargain’

At the end of the track it is etched in the dirt

‘pick up a stick, this is where you can add your own word’.

Taking in the world as it is falling apart

love in my eyes, and the killer in my heart

Taking in the world as it is falling apart

love in my eyes, and old Jerry Lee in my heart

suddenly there, then somehow not

somehow cold then suddenly hot

I wish you were here, while you were gone

I cut you off, just to turn you on

sometimes both, then sometimes none

turns out it’s a loss, to ask who has won.

Taking in the world as it is falling apart

love in my eyes, and the killer in my heart

Taking in the world as it is falling apart

love in my eyes, and old Jerry Lee in my heart

Birds are chirping desperately

On a boat that they can’t right

There is a tungsten string

In a flickering light

Someone came into my life

In the middle of the night

I wanted them to get in there

Though I locked the doors up tight

Taking in the world as it is falling apart

love in my eyes, and the killer in my heart

Taking in the world as it is falling apart

love in my eyes, and old Jerry Lee in my heart
