lyrics

As silent midnight seized your place,
I stayed awake to watch your face.
That would have stood out anywhere.
Not even midnight had you there.
And nor did I,
Though covers cling below your thighs,
And I watch their rhythmic fall and rise--
We're rising.

Maybe cleanup ends up helping you the most.
I expect you take that liberty when you're the host.
If a fling is not a love affair, it's pretty close.
I just want to silence all my ghosts.

You look so delicate undressed--
Like physics answered my request.
I'd play "Achtung Baby" and rehearse
'Til I learned every single verse.
This fevered pitch
Propels the privileged and the rich,
And I fear I can't tell who is which--
We're rising.

I'm proud, proud, proud (though I'm not being very loud.)
I'll gladly take what I'm allowed.
It's so safe in here. (That's half the force that drew us near.)
That's half the force that drew us near.
