Desaparecidos- Man, Wife, the Former (damaged goods) sapphiredawn November 2 2005, 01:02:13 UTC
I'm growing out my hair
like it was when I was single
it was longer than I'd know you
I had no money then
I had no worries then
at all
but with such a high standard of living
I just feel like I am dying
I would start an argument but you can barely even talk
but there is always good reason for your silence
you have to take care of some business
so I fix your plate and I
stay out of the way
and you will stay like that forever
right in front of your computer
you'll look up one day but
you won't recognize me

so now you want to change
you read a letter from a lawyer
want to take me out to dinner
want to bury me under a mound of
shopping bags like it would really make a difference
or make up for your disinterest
I'm a bill you pay
I'm a contract you can't break
and it is like I'm under water
or on an endless escalator
I just go up and up but
I don't ever reach the top
and it reads just like the bible
twenty centuries of scandal,
I guess it all depends on how you interpret it

the word is love
the word is loss
the words are
damaged goods
that I what I am a lifetime gets chalked up to
an experience coincidence we are chained to the events
that's it

i love this song too. I like this part the best:

want to take me out to dinner
want to bury me under a mound of
shopping bags like it would really make a difference
or make up for your disinterest
I'm a bill you pay
I'm a contract you can't break
