Chloroform Perfume

The end result of so many meetings
 At late night diners with no one eating
 We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee
 Count the tiles up on the ceiling
 Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying
 Don't beg me to keep your eyes from cryin
 You said so much
 Without ever parting your lips
 It's past 3 A.M. and I'm still far from sleep
 And this is a habit that I can't break
 You're my only company
 I'm skipping stones
 And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand
 The street lights flicker like this match in my hand
 And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand
 Begging to strike
 Begging to strike
 And I keep repeating but this payphone tele stopped receiving
 Flat out of change now
 I'm sure you won't accept the charges
 It's all the same cause by the morning I'll be halfway to
 Colorado or some place like that
 You said so much
 Without ever parting your lips

 Past 3 A.M. and I'm still far from sleep
 And this is a habit that I can't break
 You're my only company
 I'm skipping stones down a dull suburban street
 And she keeps on asking, do you think it hurts much to die?
 It's hurting so much more to stay alive now
 She is going to find out how much it hurts to die
 ♪
 She laces her perfume up with death
 I feel it in my lungs
 So I pull in the deepest breath
 And drop my head
