We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound

Reports of lover's tryst
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow

The quiet things that no one ever knows

[Chorus: x2]

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired

Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I contemplate the day we wed

Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it's you I can do without

There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame


[Chorus: x2]
So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out

Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals


[Bridge: x2]
I lie for only you

And I lie well...
Hallelu...


[Chorus: x2 (words from bridge continued in the background)]
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground

Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed

All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
