In a dark room   Where you shot your last roll   And the color blurred   And honey, can't you see   How you drove me from your dark room   Into hers?   This little tragedy we have rehearsed   Every morning I wake up there   Feeling worse   But it's ending soon   Love won't last the afternoon      In a strange bed   Where I'm laid out like a man in a hearse   And she comes to me   Because she believes it's not too late for a nurse   While she's licking all my wounds   I dare not move   Like there's still some old fidelity to prove   Or something more to ruin   Love won't last the afternoon      But please don't wake me yet   From my bad little dream   I'm a king with all my prophets   But I don't want to go to sleep   'Cause when I tell them what I see   They're gonna tell me what it means   And I don't want to know   How you do on your own      In the back of some car   Could you drop me down the road a hundred blocks or so?   And please forgive me   I haven't welcomed any morning   Since I left her home   When you take a face   And head into a day   And from a speeding window watch the sky turn grey   And hide the moon   Love won't last the afternoon
