lyrics

is it night time?
the lights are dim
i think i hear it rain
his mouth is laughing
his lips are thin
he's at my window, calls my name
you know i'd give my love to you
if i could slip away from him

the room is empty
the room is full
then it empties out again
his love is empty
his love is cold
but still he gets beneath my skin
you know i'd give my love to you
if i could steal away from him

i'd make a plan for us
i'd go to work for us
i'd find a place for us to live
i'd build a home for us
i'd make a life for us
i'd show the world if i could just leave him

times he's gentle
times he's cruel
but he always takes away my pain
it's when i'm empty
that i feel the fool
that's when he gives it back again
you know i'd give my life to you
if i could get away from him

i'd make a plan for us
i'd go to work for us
i'd find a place for us to live
i'd build a home for us
i'd make a life for us
i'd show the world if i could just leave him

Utilizing a stripped down ensemble of accordion, bass, and drums, with the occasional guitar or brass, they bring to life vivid tales of love and loss, of bedrooms and back alleys, of the solitude and the camaraderie of sex, drugs and cabaret. ... more
