Temporary Happy Ending

from The Most Fabulous Object in the World by Expo

/

lyrics

After all this time staging some kind of goodbye together.
After sinking the sun, you'd think that we'd be done,
but you're still hellbent for leather.

And when the wolves come calling,
I might be gone.
You'll want a happy ending,
but you won't find it in this song.

Just like painting a fence when it's gonna rain today.
Can't remember your touch; seems it's just too much to pray.
Seems you've lost your mind when I just found mine, my dear.
You've been losing time, and I can't rewind. It's clear!

And when your heart is breaking,
I might be gone.
You'll want a happy ending,
but you won't find it in this song.

I walk down serpentine roads, just can't carry the load you gave me.
It's a broken-down crutch, sometimes it's just too much.
Please save me.
Is your heart made of stone?
Why don't you throw me a bone or something?
When a heart breaks, it's rhyme;
you think there's something divine, when you're dying.

What can I do?
What can I say?
Can't you see you've thrown it all away?

And when the silence hits you,
you'll ask what's wrong.
You'll want a happy ending,
but you won't find it in this song.
