Lyrics:

I'm broken down / You caved my karma in
I'm staying up / Waiting for you like a fool

You made me forget / About all the dreams I kept
I keep your glass hand / By the bed we slept

I can't erase / your smokey eyes
Your smothered face / Gripping on my waist
Leaving a ghost / Upon the Oregon Coast

And on the floors / Of a crashes porch

Who can pretend / That there's a beginning without an end?
It ain't contrived / All this magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm / Then drizzles then dies

Your soul is free / But you're the one I need
And you made your deal / But you're still my ideal

And so I wait / And so I choose this fate
And store your shape / In my electric bed

Who can pretend / That there's a beginning without an end ?
It ain't contrived / All the magic in our lives
Comes down like a storm / Then drizzles then dies
