The Magnetic Fields

Time stands still
 All I can feel is the time standing still
 As you put down the keys
 And say don't call me please,
 While the radio plays:

When you were my baby
So much in love it was almost frightening

Everybody called you a...

We used to go out on the summer nights and dance in the neon rain
We used to hold hands at the movie show but we'll never hold hands again
Do do do do...

Was there some part of you - tail, or hunchback;
That, when they cut it off, grew back?
You were a little girl with starry eyes
Now you're a sad young...

You held me upside-down
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
Then you held me like a baby
Television, like wine; and cigarettes, like grains of sand;
The b...

She will scratch till her hand is bloody
But she'll love you more for the scar

I have a mandolin
I play it all night long
It makes we want to kill myself
I also have a dobro
Made in some mountain range
Seems like a mountain range...

He will do his best to do his worst
After he's messed up your girlfrien...

But let's agree to disagree
Cause I don't believe you

A hundred years from now?
It's only time

Once it's made a vow?

It can't be all that pretty

When all of New York City misses you

Should pretty boys in discos

Andy would bicycle across town
In the rain to bring you candy
And John would buy the gown
For you to wear to the prom
With Tom the astronomer

The book of love is long and boring

No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures

And instructions for dancing

Your ring upon my finger dear
And sing till dawn
A song of you and me and what and why
For time is all
I have to keep

Sing me something terrible
That even dawn may come
You and me we don't
Believe in happy endings

I like your questioning eyebrows

You've made it pretty clear what you like

It's only fair to tell you now

And the world goes dancing

And the stars come out
And they all go dancing

And there is nothing I'd like more

I should have forgotten you long ago

But you're in every song I know

Whining and pining is wrong and so

On and so forth of course of course

It would be quite hard to overrate

For we are the king of the boudoir

So we got married in Venice in June

So what

We circled the Earth in a hot air balloon

So what

And the rest of our lives
Is one long honeymoon

Wel...

I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.
Planets crash, the world goes nova...

Please forgive me for all the things
I've done.
Sugar give me the love
I need to carry on living.
Living without you
I'd just die
With you, with you

And we've been burned for many crimes
We have ended many lives
