Connections Are More Dangerous Than Lies - The Ataris

Electric windmill skyline

The cracking soil beneath my feet

It’s pearls drenched with lust

This empty bed, the sweat soaked sheets

It’s like they empty out the ocean

Bodies mending this scorched earth

It’s like they empty out the ocean

Bodies mending this scorched earth

So call me on your long walks home

Where drunken voices bleed into one

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

I will to you the smell of burning leaves

Rusted windchimes and the feverish glow of fireflies

We were such terrible liars

We were such passionate lovers

We were such terrible liars

We were such passionate lovers

So call me on your long walks home

Where drunken voices bleed into one

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

We awoke on your cluttered bed

To the schoolchildren below

Our teeming hearts

Habitual words are effortlessly flung

We were such terrible liars

We were such passionate lovers

We were such terrible liars

We were such passionate lovers

We were such terrible liars

We were such passionate lovers

We were such terrible liars

We were such passionate lovers

(Call me on your long walks home

Where drunken voices bleed into one)

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

Stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are

Stay where you are

If you’re not in love, stay where you are
