For Mayor In Splitsville (Live) - La Dispute[00:00:00]

Funny what you think of after a collapse[00:00:21]

While lying in the dirt the first thing[00:00:25]

That comes back is never quite what you'd have guessed[00:00:28]

And if you could have[00:00:32]

You probably would've said[00:00:34]

You'd check if all your limbs were intact still and[00:00:35]

Then try to get out[00:00:38]

We played house with the neighbors in their basement[00:00:40]

Sister made me husband she was older so I did her bidding[00:00:44]

I remember once their dad came in said[00:00:49]

You think this is bad[00:00:52]

You don't know the half[00:00:54]

And he laughed[00:00:55]

It's funny what things come back[00:00:56]

The first things you see[00:00:59]

How he sort of smiled like[00:01:00]

It's only a joke but he was lying[00:01:02]

There was something else inside of his eyes[00:01:05]

All those secrets people tell to little children[00:01:08]

Are warnings that they give them[00:01:12]

Like Look I'm unhappy[00:01:14]

Please don't make the same mistake as me[00:01:16]

Why are those old worn out jokes on married life[00:01:21]

Told at toasts at receptions still[00:01:25]

How does it never occur how often couples[00:01:30]

Get burned and end uncertain in Splitsville[00:01:34]

Funny what you think of in the wreckage[00:01:42]

Lying there in the dirt and the dust and the glass[00:01:46]

How you're suddenly somewhere in the desert[00:01:52]

In the nighttime[00:01:56]

And it's getting close to Christmas[00:01:57]

And then her and that movie voice[00:01:59]

She uses when she reads[00:02:02]

Welcome to the Land of Enchantment[00:02:03]

From a highway sign[00:02:06]

And it's late so you take the next exit[00:02:07]

When that trip ended[00:02:11]

We came back the rent was due I was jobless[00:02:12]

I guess in retrospect I should've sensed decay[00:02:17]

Then that day how you said[00:02:20]

I just don't know and I promised[00:02:22]

We'd rearrange things to fix the mess I'd made here[00:02:25]

But I guess in the end we just moved furniture around[00:02:28]

But I guess in the end we just moved furniture around[00:02:33]

But I guess in the end we just moved furniture around[00:02:37]

But I guess in the end it sort of feels[00:02:41]

Like every day[00:02:45]

It's harder to stay happy where you are[00:02:46]

There are all these ways to look through the fence[00:02:49]

Into your neighbor's yard[00:02:52]

Why even risk it[00:02:54]

It's safer to stay distant[00:02:56]

When it's so hard now to just be content[00:02:58]

Because there's always something else[00:03:00]

Now I'm proposing my own toast[00:03:05]

Composing my own joke for those married men[00:03:08]

Maybe I'm miserable[00:03:11]

I'd rather run for mayor in Splitsville[00:03:13]

Than suffer your jokes again[00:03:17]
