Love Won't Last The Afternoon (Lullaby) Letra

And honey, can't you see
How you drove me from your dark room
Into hers?
This little tragedy we have rehearsed
Every morning I wake up there
Feeling worse
But it's ending soon
Love won't last the afternoon

In a strange bed
Where I'm laid out like a man in a hearse
And she comes to me
Because she believes it's not too late for a nurse
While she's licking all my wounds
I dare not move
Like there's still some old fidelity to prove
Or something more to ruin
Love won't last the afternoon

But please don't wake me yet
From my bad little dream
I'm a king with all my prophets
But I don't want to go to sleep
'Cause when I tell them what I see
They're gonna tell me what it means
And I don't want to know
How you do on your own

In the back of some car
Could you drop me down the road a hundred blocks or so?
And please forgive me
I haven't welcomed any morning
Since I left her home
When you take a face
And head into a day
And from a speeding window watch the sky turn grey
And hide the moon
Love won't last the afternoon
