Nevermore

from Rushmore - Single by Horse Horse Tiger Tiger

lyrics

There she
Wrote on the mirror of a motel room
Tripping over gifts from a hopeless fool
Sorry my babe I have to leave so soon
Of course I have a heart it wasn't meant for you

And he's
Wasting time with a late night call
But she's just another girl in a bathroom stall
And he's just a fiend that just won't quit
Makes himself a list and builds it bit by bit

And he
Won't know
And she
She'll never know

We pulled a veil across our eyes
To stop the sun from asking why
So hard we try to keep the sun and the nighttime quiet
And we don't know why

Coffee's getting a little black
For sleepless nights we can't hold back
And the list goes on like the riddles in the spinner's song
And we don't know why

A lady cries cause she's alone
Nobody knows this lonely soul
She always played the same old game
She closed her eyes but it stays awake

The man it shows like ill fit clothes
His children gone, the rest moved on
He played the game to always score
The guilt it cries: Nevermore

Nevermore, nevermore
We hit the backdrop just once more
On the back of a tabletop
We spill the pieces to the floor
He knows our name and he sings our shame
Sings regret just once more
The drink is black but the spinner's back
He brings us sleep
Nevermore

And it thunders
And we go under
Waves crash and all I see
Is his shadow over me

And he thunders
We go under
Through the calling of the wind
And we know that it's just him

Nevermore, nevermore
We hit the backdrop just once more
On the back of a tabletop
We spill the pieces to the floor
He knows our name and he sings our shame
Sings regret just once more
The drink is black but the spinner's back
He brings us sleep
Nevermore
