Paroles de The Only Thing I Know

when you came back from trenton,

all the sparkle was gone.

and you stood in the shadow
and the curtains were drawn



and i know you're lying.

and you know you're lying too.

that is just about the only thing i know about you.



when you pocketed your eyeshadow

and you picked up the phone,

stepped out on the balcony

and drank in the drone.
and you know you're leaving too.

that is just about the only thing i know about you.



when you stop on the sidewalk

and you looked up above you,

warm wet air came down to shelter me.

how much do i love you?



well you know you're dying.

and i know you're dying too.

that is just about the only thing i know about you.
