A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace

Lyrics

Alright
 "So long, everything!" He shouted
 Then he ran next door to Mar- (Margot's) house
 "I'm moving," he said
 "Where?" Asked Margot
 "Two weeks away, two weeks away?" (Yes) he said Mitchell
 "Where is that?" Asked Margot
 "It's everywhere I will be after
 I walk for two weeks," said Mitchell
 "I have lived in the (same place) the same place for a long time
 It is time for me to go some place ils-, else"
 "No," said Margot, "You have only lived
 Next door for 15 years"
 "16," said Mitchell
 "15, six (what's the difference?) what's the difference?" Said Margot
 "I want you to stay next door forever"
 "I can't," said Mitchell
 "I do not want to go wake up in the same old bedroom, and
 Eat breakfast in the same old kitchen
 Every-, every room in my house is the same old room
 Because I have been there too long"
 You turn on a spindle
 You're so much looser now
 But you're not explaining how
 You've gained such new repose
 I touch the clasp of your locket
 With its picture held
 Some secret you wouldn't tell
 But let it choke your neck
 So, we imagine a darkness
 Where all shapes divide
 Solids changing into light
 With a burst of heat so bright
 Well, fine, don't you do what I want you to
 Yeah, don't degrade yourself the way that I do
 'Cause you don't depend upon all the shit
 That I use to make my moods improve
 "And you look at me and think same old face
 Same old tail, same old (scales) scales, same old walk
 Same old talk," said Margot
 "No," said Mitchell
 "I like your face, tail, scales, walk and talk"
 "I like you"
 "I like you, I like-, like- (like), like you too," said Mitchell
 He walked to the door
 "I must pack," he said
 Near a sea of pianos, there were waves of chords
 That crashed against the shore
 In one huge and useless roar
 And there were girls bringing water
 Like a dream they came to cool the fever of my brain
 And soothe my burning throat
 And they made me a necklace
 Hanging beads of sweat on a string of my regrets
 And placed it 'round my neck
 And they were singing, "Don't you do what you've wanted to
 Yeah, don't destroy yourself like those cowards do
 Maybe the sun keeps coming up, because it's gotten
 Used to you, and your constant need for proof"
