It was a shallow ocean
It was a very blue sky
They’re not too wide to get around
given the old school try
and you must have had
nothing better to do
I’ve been kissing my cigarette
wishing it was you

True, you gave me the moon
and the silver stars
They float outside the window
of this tedious bar
but just like their master
they just drift in the blue
I’ve been kissing the bottle
wishing it was you

So Gibraltar has tumbled
The world came to an end
and the joke was on me,
you’re not even my friend
but with all my new lovers
and there’ve been twenty-two
I’ve been kissing the mirror
wishing it was you

– Stephin Merritt

I know…two lyric posts in a row is a cop out.

I’m working on it.
