[Verse 1]
These cheap tea candles won't last very long
I don't want to lose your face
Maybe they will last 'til dawn
Flicker in a drunken pergola
To a drunken song
'Til only death surrounds us
Reminds us where our words come from

[Chorus]
You sat there screwing up faces in paper
Like I don't fret
There's a master to a strange fate

[Verse 2]
I used to hate the sucker that solidified me
You know it's planned obsolescence
For the only one you'll ever know

[Chorus]
You sat there screwing up faces in paper
Like I don't fret
There's a master to a strange fate
You sat there screwing up faces in paper
Like I don't fret
There's a master to a strange fate
A master to a strange fate
[Bridge]
Overdue by days and days
We're bending around in the bathroom mirror, most of Sunday
Overdue by days and days
We're bending around in the bathroom mirror, most of Sunday
Tie me up, I'll kiss your rings
Sit me by a TV with one channel
'Til it's safe to go outside
