lyrics

I covered my wall with maps
but none of them led me to you
and I took my sweet time forcin myself to relax
but my muscles they grow weary when they've got nothing to do

But before long I had gone blind
from projections of some distant time
with the sweat a-beadin on my brow
and the sun in my eye.

Well she slipped in through the kitchen door
and gathered what she could from the bathroom drawer
her shadow tossed fragmented on the floor
and that frantic wailing, "oh god! oh glory, the horror!"

And then every single line in sight did blur
and you wake up sweating, gasping next to her
while outside the darkness beckoned like a voice
and she said, "I'm sorry darling, but I don't think that I have much choice."

I covered my wall with maps
but none of them led me to you
