Laurel and Hardy

歌詞

I thought you were joking when you asked for that kiss I never expected it would end up like this My bulletproof baby, identical twins Laurel and Hardy, pineapple and gin I made you a prison inside of my heart I fed you confessions between the bars The keys to my kingdom for an hour of yours The moon to my ocean, the tide to my shore If you had been listening, maybe you would have heard The sound of my heart, like a panicking bird That beats at the window and bloodies its wings My favorite poison, my honeybee sting I took up the mantle of unshakable faith On the road to Damascus I fell to my face A volunteer martyr burned for your sake I was a beggar, your love was small change Now there are no conditions, no treaty to sign No terms of surrender, no changing our minds The last time I saw you, you were turning away And I lost my ambition to beg you to stay Every old song told me "true love makes you blind" But I wasn't listening as I gouged out my eyes And stumbling in darkness I reached for your hand But you slipped through my fingers like hourglass sand My favorite poison, my honeybee sting My unanswered question
