lyrics

She’d pinned a dirty secret
Upon my lapel
Rang a bell
And put a note in my hand
And slammed it shut

I’m not a slut
Rattled around my head
As a great black ravine
Cut through my bed

As the toast burned
To no longer bread
And the coffee machine
Burst and shook

It was the first day
Not yet in stone
An empty room
A hollowed heart
A wild love
It was off the chart

The pinned on dirty secret
Burst into flower
And caressed my lapel
As I burned to its power

Read the note in my hand
Slit wide open
But I’m not so shut
Rattled my bed

As the toast burned
To no longer bread
And the coffee machine
Burst and shook

It was the first day
Not yet in stone
An empty room
A hollowed heart
A wild love
It was way off the chart

The pin had broken
The secret now a vine
Reached for my neck
And took me in its grip

The note now in ashes
And I just a cut
The rattling of my bones
Was becoming just to much

As the toast burned
To no longer bread
And the coffee machine
Burst and shook

It was the first day
Not yet in stone
An empty room
A hollowed heart
A wild love
It was off the chart

Bits of green
Torn out my clothes
The bell tolling
Oh they left in droves

Thousands of notes
Bent and folded in two
Enclosed in sheets
Embattled it rattled

And tore at my head
As the toast burned
To no longer bread
And the coffee machine
Burst and shook

It was the first day
Not yet in stone
An empty room
A hollowed heart
A wild love
It was way of the chart

It was the first day
Not yet in stone
An empty room
A hollowed heart
A wild love
It was way out of control

A hollowed heart
A wild, wild, wild love
