lyrics

Darling, set a place for me
at the table.
Forget that I'm never coming home,
that you are alone.

Put your lipstick on, darling,
just start over.
Take some pills to shake your bones,
baby, I know.

Let the wine fill your head
with trouble,
let the music paint your thighs
so unsubtle.

Give up the ghost-
time don't pay, she owes.

Darling, don't tiptoe tonight
slow things decay.
The shattered night is silent, yea-
but it's still got something to say.

Let your trembling tongue
form holy words.
Let his skin be a blank page
and write new scriptures.

Give up the ghost-
time don't pay, she owes.
