One & Only - Girl Blue

Met you in your shadowed dark

Absinthe bar

You shaved your head

It left a scar

We bunkered down

Windowless room

Our hateful sex

I love, you lose

You bathed me

Laid me down, clean sheets

We took half of that blue pill each

Our vacant dates

Carnival shows

That Ferris wheel

Our highest low

I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your neck

Instead I believed you when you said that we were back to back

And I’ve never been one to ask for a hand

Never been one to take what was given

Never seen love so cold and undressed

Never lived life so lifeless

Oh, my one and only

Only leaves me lonely

Only leaves me lonely

Oh, if I could only

Leave my one and only

Read all of your movie scripts with murder scenes

Familiar faces, all I see

My happy made you sad and sly

Your honest made me beg for lies

A temper tantrum’s bloated world

Staccato man, limber girl

The rippling wolves

The paper moon

The dial tone

The dancer’s doomed

And I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your throat

Instead I believed you when you said you still had hope

And I’ve never been one to ask for a hand

Never been one to take what was given

Never seen love so cold and undressed

Never lived life so lifeless

Oh, my one and only

Only leaves me lonely

Only leaves me lonely

Oh, if I could only

Leave my one and only

Your creepy creature

My bloodless heart

You fill me up

My shadowed dark

I love you like I love myself

Like no one, like nobody else

I should have believed you when you said you felt a rope around your neck

Instead I believed you when you said that we were back to back

Now I’ve never been one to ask for a hand

Never been one to take what was given

Never seen love so cold and undressed

Never lived life so lifeless

Oh, my one and only

Only leaves me lonely

Only leaves me lonely

Oh, if I could only

Leave my one and only
