lyrics

A week long and bent
my body half-dead
but that look you give
could keep me feeling alright

When you're sitting at the bar
in the morning, full of stars
you look like a bitter-
hearted divorcee

With your menthol cigarettes
alcoholic coffee drinks
mopping up a morning
lost to lust

Blue Rodeo
on the radio
roping love-lost tears
down your face

And sad, jealous eyes
of sad drunken guys
checking my
every move

Oh, come on baby
come on, one more time
There's seconds left
they're only yours and mine

I step outside the door
to the morning full of stars
and streetlights
pissing in the snow

I'm leaving love behind
for the last fucking time
and I'm never talking
to any of your kind again

Oh, Beverly
you crept up on me this time
a sneak attack
a two verse lullabye

Oh, Beverly
you crept up on me this time
a sneak attack
a two verse lullabye

I'm leaving town
I'm walking out tonight
I'm going further north
to go and hide
Away from any sort of love
I'll build a life
out of loneliness
and lust
and what little's left of pride

I'm leaving town
I'm walking out tonight
I'm going further north
to go and hide

I'm leaving town
I'm walking out tonight
I'm going further north...

Great Elk New York

The New Yorker says - “The Brooklyn rockers Great Elk display the control and restraint of a band with deep chemistry, as they sway gracefully between gentle ballads and mid-tempo indie-rock tunes.”

That's cool.
