I wake up feeling nothing, camouflage the wavering sky
I sit at my?piano,?wander the wild?whereby
And the lilacs drank the water,?and the lilacs die
And the lilacs drank the water, marking the slow, slow
Slow passing of time

I get so angry, baby, at something you might say
I dream about an awful stranger, work my way through the day
I run it like a silent movie, I run it like a violent song
Run it like a voice compelling, so right it can't be wrong

If I'm a broken record, write it in the dust, babe
I'll fill myself back up like I used to do
And if my bones are made of delicate sugar
I won't end up anywhere good without you, ooh
I need your love too

When I live a sparse existence, I'll drop down in the fold
Lean in to an urgent falter, spin silence into gold
I run it like the crop of kismet, I run it like a dilettante
I run it like I'm happy, baby, like I got everything I want

If I'm a broken record, write it in the dust, babe
I'll fill myself back up like I used to do
And if my bones are made of delicate sugar
I won't end up anywhere good without you
I won't end up anywhere good without you, ooh
I need your love too

And the lilacs drank the water
And the lilacs drank the water
And the lilacs drank the water
