Verse
Dm A
My brother finds comfort in calculators
Dm A
He assigns every number a name
Dm A
He believes that they add up to certainty
Dm A
And he is upset with fractions that remain
Dm A
So I examine the maps with my eyes and at best
Dm A
I can trace with my finger all the way
Dm A
To that town where she went an attempt to forget
Dm A Dm
The cracks and the lines of my face
[Verse 2]
Dm A
So Jetsabel cleaned out the closets for me
Dm A
And she piled the boxes in the hall
Dm A
Tomorrow when she wakes she'll come take them away
Dm A
And they will never haunt me again
Dm A
But it is still hard to sleep with the moon's heavy beams
Dm A
I run barefoot to the backyard
Dm A
Just to freeze in my place by the rod iron gate
Dm A Dm
Too ashamed and afraid to advance
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Dm A
Today I walked through the snow and found a field of headstones
Dm A
They were in rows like the weeks on calendars
Dm A
Where each box is a day that you can ever escape
Dm A Dm
Without pills for your poisonous sleep
Dm A
Now, these memories leak from these faucets that weep
Dm A
Hot tears splash against the shower floor
Dm A
And I stand in the steam as if inside a dream
Dm A
I can see her again by the sink
[Verse 4]
Dm A
From behind the bathroom mirror she pulls a thermometer
Dm A
And placed it underneath my tounge
Dm A
She said, "You are as pale as a sheet, you look awful my sweet
Dm A
Lay down and wait for the sun"
Dm A
So I stayed in that bed, she brought me water and read
Dm A
Each night from a volume out loud
Dm A
She whispered soft poetry, her favorite was Anabel Lee
Dm A
And those words, like these drugs, comforted me
[Verse 5]
Dm A
But the clocks kept waving their hands and she could not understand
Dm A
Why my temperature would never drop
Dm A
And although she promised with tears that she would always be here
Dm A Dm
I heard truth like the sounding sea
Dm A
I said, "My Arienette, oh, how soon you'll forget
Dm A
This house will never be your home
Dm A
And you will leave in the fall when the trees become graves
Dm A Dm
And their color lie dead in the grass"
[Chorus]
A Db7
Gold and green torture me
Gbm
Like the lies, like the lies, like the lies
E7
I believe too easily
A Db7
Oh my Jetsabel, look at this hell that I have made
Gbm
If you want maybe drop by sometime
E7
Put some flowers on my grave
A Db7
So that I will look beautiful in my silent sepulchur
Gbm
Yeah, that's fine, throw those dresses away
E7 A
I don't want anything of hers
[Outro]
Dm A
For the moon never shines
Dm A
And the stars never rise
Dm A
Without bringing me dreams
Dm N.C.
Haunted by the ghosts of those bright eyes
