Pyotr - Bad Books, Manchester Orchestra, Kevin Devine

Bare breasted, you make love in the turret

I feel each single thrust that you take

In silence I watch on from the bastion

Entranced, I make myself look away

Bare breasted making love in the turret

I’ll never love nobody other than you

And in silence I can feel as you quiver

Keep quiet or you know what he will do

I know I am not the man you desire

I know you think that I am some kind of fool

And I know you would gaze in his eyes forever

I’ve figured out just how to give that to you

Mm, mm

When he found us in the western wing sleeping

You cried at all the things you thought he would do

And I tell you in the heat of the scuffle

Nobody ever takes my eyes off of you

And oh Catherine, how you run me my fever

Oh Catherine, tell me was it worth it for him?

These gallows are no place for the stubborn

Just you and your lover as a dark souvenir

Mm, mm

She sees me on display inside the museum

Comes every morning and again when she can

Strokes her blistered hand across my glass container

Saying «It's so good to see you back here again.»

Mm, mm
