Texas Lyrics - Bad Books - Bad Books

My love has gone away 

Packed up her bags and then boarded that plane 

And I guess that the time I figured you'd wait 

Teary face, leaky breath, a bitter taste 

Tripped out for six hundred years 

Who would have thought that I'd make it last year? 

In a way it makes sense that I died and reappeared 

As that fly you've been swatting for years 

Calm down and make him a drink 

Pretty small town and the gossip repeats 

She took off her clothes 

And sat on the bed next to me 

My heart is pumping my blood 

Your heart's not beating at all 

In a way it makes sense that it isn't 

It just never was 

Right now, a sinful exchange 

Once done, unspeakable shame 

And I should've known where I took the blame 

The sweat and the shame fireless flame 

Please god, don't take him too 

Take me, a replicant fool 

Lost a gear and now I hardly move 

He's a kid, I'm a fool 

Please son, where is your faith? 

Take off your bushels, set fire to your pain 

You will heal like a cut 

Let it scar, let it scab, let it stain 

In a while I promise you'll see 

You're alive, not the blemish or burns 

That you keep on your feet 

I am a towel that is soaked to the core 

Heavier now than it's gotten before 

And something inside of me needs more and more 

Sooner than later, never no more 

Sooner than later, never no more
