about

the original version of this recording appeared on the 1997 album Recital

lyrics

she stands blocking out the light
from the artificial sun
i am quiet on the floorboards
underneath a gun
she knows every single word
in every single frame
i wear someone else’s shirt
i use someone else’s name

and i’m falsely bleeding
and i’m falsely dying
and grace is crying her eyes out
grace is crying her eyes out
and her heart is breaking
even though she’s lying
and grace is crying her eyes out
grace is crying her eyes out

now she takes me in her arms
close against her skin
cold air silent all around us
i can feel her take it in
grace is giving up it all
as i take my final breath
and try to make the most of my
two hundred dollar death
