Recorded at the Saint Clair Ave apartment, Saint Paul MN on November 5 & 6, 2010, this mix from July 29, 2013

lyrics

Somebody should have told you that everybody lies
Wedding bells were cancelled,
There's no refund on the rest of your life
In the well-wisher's corner, the rain-soaked supporters
Were just as bored as you
My bright disarmy
Went white at the sight of the enemy's face tonight

You'll see it in my eyes
If you believe my disguise
Oh, come on
Distract me from my fears
For a couple of days
Open up now, cause it's not too late
To get a shiver of birds from you, girl
When you come like a breath of skin
For the Royal Skeleton

I'll get over it someday
But for now it's twisting red inside of me
All is well, go to hell,
Copyright my time and energy gone
On the last night we shared
Scraping the ghosts from the bottom of the stairs
The paint we spilled and drinks we killed
I remember them warmly,
She's coming towards me, oh

I see it in her eyes
A sequel she cannot disguise
Oh, come on
Tell her with your tears
Now, before it's too late
Before her smile slips away
And you stutter "Who takes the blame?"
Doesn't matter when she's got you pinned
Like a breath of skin
To the Royal Skeleton
