A History of Cancer

Every instinct of mine says to leave before the summer
She is twisting a lime in her drink
It is well known that I have a history of cancer
It's a long stretch of time divides a week

"Now arriving at parliament." I wander after exits
She is waiting for boredom to atrophy
And I'll be waiting in line 'til then
To a freeway I am tethered and I don't wanna wait
'Cause I don't
No I don't believe in love
No
No, I don't believe in love

Watershed heart
Twisting out my hollow, blackened lungs
Leaves me in the arms of hell
Watershed heart
Tells me there's no point in weighing up
These things, there's no love in here
Watershed heart
Shed hard
Watershed heart
Shed hard
Watershed Heart

She would talk about my weakness in an emphysemic wheeze
"There are blisters on you baby that would bring me to my knees"
She would ask if she could meet me in some histrionic bar
Just to let me down uneasy, hit me so hard I see stars
And I don't believe in love so I'll spare us both the pain
And I'll raise a glass to animals who would not act this way
Then I'll tell it like it is and as fifteen years pass
She will act like nothing happened. Party's over for both of us

Woooh-woooh
