Rilo Kiley - Absence Of God Lyrics
The absence of God will bring you comfort, babyAnd planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're richAnd I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy itFolk singers sing songs for the working, babyWe're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyersThere's no relief for the bleeding heart'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonightAnd Rob says you love, love, love and then you dieI've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyesAnd you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joyBut I just keep on getting up againWe could be daytime drunks if we wantedWe'd never get anything done that way babyAnd we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectivesAnd I'm not my perspectiveOr the lies I'll tell you every timeAnd Morgan says, maybe love won't let you downAll of your failures are training groundsAnd just as your back's turned you'll be surprised she saysAs your solitude subsidesAnd Mike I'll teach you how to swimIf you turn the bad in me into good againAnd I say there's troubleWhen everything is fineThe need to destroy thingsCreeps up on me every timeJust as love's silhouette appearsI close my eyes and disappear tonightAnd something's got to change'Cause our love's the slowest moving train
