The Last First Time - David Duchovny

I don’t give a damn 'bout your second hand

And I don’t mind being your third or fourth main man

That tattoo on your ring finger where your love used to be

Is just a scar with a funny, sad story to me

Yeah, I’m a bit used up myself

My Blue Book value’s low

I hear whispers like a shadow I drag in my undertow

I got skeletons in my closet, the time ain’t forgot

See I got what I needed, so now I got what I got

We’ve been cast east of Eden

And north of our youth

West of the Hudson, somewhere south of the truth

Wandering the desert, but I swear to you

This is the last first time

I’ll ever have to say

The last first line

I’ll ever throw away

The last first night

You’ll ever have to stay

The last first time

I see your cactus has needles and your roses have thorns

And the angels on your shoulders are looking pretty worn

I can tell by their wings and the pop songs they sing

That they’re tired and frightened about everything

So your heart’s been broken too many times

Playing second fiddle in some sadistic nursery rhymes

Well, the past ain’t punishment

No, it’s wisdom you earn

So come here baby and show me what you’ve learned

We’ve been cast east of Eden

And north of our youth

West of the Hudson, somewhere south of the truth

Wandering in the desert, but I swear to you

This is the last first time

I’ll ever have to say

The last first line

I’ll ever throw away

The last first night

You’ll ever have to stay

The last first time

This is the last first time

I’ll ever have to say

The last first line

I’ll ever throw away

The last first night

You’ll ever have to stay

The last first time

It’s the last first time

I’ll ever have to say

The last first line

I’ll ever throw away

The last first night

You’ll ever have to stay

The last first time

Last first time

Last first time
