Verse by noon it was clear that winter'd come and i just let the water run and i got soap suds in my eyes and it stung like iodine the phone started ringing like a fire alarm and the voice on the machine was brutally calm new numbers coming down the wire got into the shower with my eyes on fire hey! hey! let it fall on me, let it all come down relentlessly! you swore that you would stick around when days like this started coming down! break out the crystal! get out the good champagne! we're going down in flames.
