That's When It Hit Me Lyrics - The Year Of No Returning - Ezra Furman

That's when it hit me 

and splintered my collarbone like a melody, and I was in love 

with the world, liquefied in a blender and poured through the funnel 

of your eyes into an incredible little jar which I have come 

to refer to mistakenly as my life. Such a revelation blacked 

my eyes and threw me against the wooden door, I was bleeding 

a little bit from a cut near by eyebrow. My mouth fell open 

at the sight of a violent beauty and I drooled a sweet liquid 

onto the carpet. I think you can see oh darling that it hurts to split open 

your sleep at five a.m. but love breaking into your heart in the early 

early morning and does the Charleston on your face 

Your eyes were black from the sun when I fell down the stairs 

getting up to go to work, I wanted to bring you some money 

to show you that you had held a gun to my eye and made me fall 

in love because this was something I could not put into words 

at the time. Thank heaven the cuts are clean and ugly now 

and I'm drinking breakfast through a straw for you my coney island gal

I suspect we could have gone it all night and all the next day, but you get tired so we got some black thread and sewed it all up and went to bleeding sleep 

in your bedsheets but I didn't tell you I 

stayed up aching at the ceiling 

touching a black and yellow bruise on my thigh I will never forget-- 

so do you think we can do this for the rest of our lives, isn't the world just dripping through the pipes we knocked my teeth out on and please 

can we be in love again tomorrow night if we don't make too much noise; 

at two-thirty somebody was banging on the or and talking about calling the cops, somehow we made it out of that one baby, 

let's get cleaned up and do it once more, ohh-hhhhhh shit
