Lilacs Lyrics

I wake up feeling nothing
Camouflage the wavering sky
I sit at my piano, wander the wild whereby
And the lilacs drank the water
And the lilacs die
And the lilacs drank the water
Marking in the slow, slow, slow passing of time

I get so angry, baby
At something you might say
I dream about an awful stranger
Work my way through the day
I run it like a silent movie
I run it like a violent song
I run it like a voice compelling
So right it can't be wrong

If I'm a broken record
Write it in the dust, babe
I'll fill myself back up like I used to do
And if my bones are made of delicate sugar
I won't end up anywhere good without you
I need your love too

When I live a sparse existence
I'll drop down in the fold
Lean in to an urgent falter
Spin silence into gold
I run it like the crop of kismet
I run it like a dilettante
I run it like I'm happy, baby
Like I got everything I want

If I'm a broken record
Write it in the dust, babe
I'll fill myself back up like I used to do
And if my bones are made of delicate sugar
I won't end up anywhere good without you
I won't end up anywhere good without you
I need your love too

And the lilacs drank the water
And the lilacs drank the water
And the lilacs drank the water
