The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby    And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich    And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it    Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby       We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers    There's no relief for the bleeding heart    Because they'll be losing bodies tonight       And Rob says you love, love, love, and then you die    I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes    And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy    But I just keep on getting up again       We could be daytime drunks if we wanted    We'd never get anything done that way, baby    And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives    And I'm not my perspective    Or the lies I'll tell you every time       And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down    All of your failures are training grounds    And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised, she says    As your solitude subsides       And Mike, I'll teach you how to swim    If you turn the bad in me into good again       And I say there's trouble    When everything is fine    The need to destroy things    Creeps up on me every time    Just as love's silhouette appears    I close my eyes and disappear tonight       And something's got to change    Because our love's the slowest moving train
