The Gutter of Our Ecstasy

When I wake up to this old swooning town
My heavy eyelids painted gold in the morning light
Your skin grows closer to my chest as we breath
Oh my darling, they'll find us in the gutter of our ecstasy

I see your skin closing in on me from the other side of the street
Dusty morning dusty town dusty sunlight dusting off our new born heat
You’re yawning smiling leaning over the city under your drowsy feet
Miles and miles to go, you hear me whistle lightly softly, we are free

Empty streets, flooded hearts, hands entwined in the park
Light blue touch, deep green eyes, reaching far towards the sky
As we roam down the hill, down some wine
Will you fill up the cup to the brim, towards the Eden of our whim

PCC, I got smacked in the face, she was covered in rage
As we stumbled back out into the night
The city lights swishing by as our screams and laughter
Stole back the night

Now our light is melting over the pillow over your feet
I let in the world come crashing in as I open the window to the streets
As we approach the end of our road, our mutual flight, our mutual fight
Oh but darling, you can find me in the gutter of my ecstasy

And so the end is near and then the end is here, I'll leave you with my sleeve
Oh please think of me when you're covered in that dark woven heat
And be assured that the tribulations of love are worthwhile
As I’ll retrace my steps to the canopy of our love
