Velvet callow with wet hands, I turned out the lights
And just then you awoke, you could never really barely care
I saw your hands melt into one another
Just above the snow, making moves that just weren't there
Ah, ah
And breathing shallow hesitated, then went upstairs where
Greasy jungle metropolis noir
I stood at your sink and I felt your warm water
I washed your dishes and I looked out your kitchen window
I saw you grieve and grow, care a lot about one another
Where I saw a soulful gymnast melt in the air and shudder
Ah, ah, ah
I picked up your housecoat, dried my hands and touched your hair
Your funeral home's sandwiches and coffee
I drove down your road, Hazel dean where I tasted
Ah, ah
