Who Fell Asleep In - Los Campesinos![00:00:00]
She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me,[00:00:17]
At the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme.[00:00:26]
We turned our backs to the church with our trousers around our knees,[00:00:36]
While screaming the scriptures, she said I was her favourite heresy.[00:00:44]
In a note I read: "If you should go blind and deaf,[00:00:56]
I'll cleanse and I'll bathe you and I'll cook for you daily.[00:01:02]
I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest[00:01:08]
All of the same conversations that we have now in bed".[00:01:13]
I don't mean to be selfish, but I think I'd sooner just be dead.[00:01:20]
Behind the tennis court, alongside the river, not a single live flower to see.[00:01:34]
This is the one girl who woke up from all that and now falls asleep next to me.[00:01:43]
But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder.[00:01:51]
It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours.[00:02:01]
She said she wanted a sea burial, not grass and hypodermics to her hips.[00:02:09]
I pruned the ivy from your grandmother's tomb,[00:02:21]
More tender and careful than the superstitious[00:02:27]
Ripped you from your mothers womb.[00:02:32]
In a note I wrote: "I think too much about the end,[00:02:39]
But being around it made me feel like I'm coping.[00:02:45]
Now when I view the cemetery I don't see headstones, I see[00:02:50]
Rows of engraved milk teeth, hungry, waiting for me".[00:02:57]
And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief.[00:03:03]
Behind the tennis court, alongside the river, a paper flower's still a beautiful thing.[00:03:16]
This is the one girl who woke up from all that and now falls asleep next to me.[00:03:26]
But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder.[00:03:33]
It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours.[00:03:44]
