lyrics

Mary Jane came through the door
Fully formed and heading towards some delicious mistake
As it passed, the hours planned, time walked in sand
We watched, we could not look away

She led us here, she felt it move
She said do not hide, I like to look
We held her knees, she held us back
An afternoon in triplet
November lies, it’s always been that mean

She’s falling apart
She’s falling apart
Feels like something beautiful just left the room

Who are we to fix this mess, first year butchers?
No, we’re cunning surgeons
This pile of pieces of a person so carefully laid out
It shouldn’t be that hard

She’s falling apart
She’s falling apart

It’s over now, we’ll say we tried
She looks fine, but the light has lost her eyes
We’ll say it’s fixed, she’ll play along
We’ll never again speak of this song
When she goes we’ll look the other way
